The value is estimated at $71,840 over the term, and the company would be required to maintain operations 12 years. Sandridge, nearly 50 years old, is a refrigerated foods manufacturer with refrigerated processing and storage, frozen storage, dry storage and office space on more than 28 acres of land.
Abison Inc. of Hartville (Stark County) was awarded an $840,000 Innovation Ohio Loan Fund amount at an interest rate of 1 percent for the first year, then 6 percent for the remainder of the six-year term.
