Once-closed Jackson Township facility now is utilized by company that completes mail, phone and e-mail orders

JACKSON TWP.: When entering the Arthur Middleton Capital Holdings production company, the first thing a visitor notices is the number of uniformed officers guarding the place.
''We have a lot of money here,'' explained Richard G. Snowden, director of logistics.
The building on Freedom Avenue Northwest contains the largest cash vault outside the Federal Reserve, officials said.
The coins and uncut bills from the United States Mint are put into frames, boxes and other displays, which are sold to collectors through newspaper advertisements, national direct mailings and on the Web.
The facility fulfills orders for three Arthur Middleton businesses: World Reserve Monetary Exchange, which markets the collectable coins and bills; Heat Surge, which sells fireplace inserts and other products; and Patent Health, which sells over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
The company moved into the 407,000-square-foot building in May. It previously housed a distribution facility for Camelot Music and its successor, Trans World Entertainment, which closed in January.
Ohio Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher welcomed members of the community to what was called a state-of-the-art facility during a reception and tour of the refurbished building on Monday.
''You converted something that people thought might stand empty and made something remarkable,'' Fisher said.
The state gave the company a 45 percent tax credit on Ohio withholding taxes for the creation of new jobs.
The eight-year credit will kick in by sometime next year. The deal calls for the company to create 247 jobs at the Jackson Township facility by the end of 2011.
Already, 69 jobs have been added to the payroll; most of these employees previously worked for Trans World Entertainment.
''We aren't just supporting the company, we are supporting the men and women of this community,'' he said.
Ryan Berry, vice president of operations, said the company hired 52 workers who lost their jobs when the Trans World facility in Stark County closed. Since then, it has hired 17 new employees. The jobs range in hourly pay from $7.50 to $12 and include health benefits and a 25 percent matching 401(k) program, Berry said.
