11 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 4, ISSUE 2 PREFERRED VENDOR/ PARTNER n JTM Food Group www.jtmfoodgroup.com JTM Food Group is an international, multi- segmented, forward-thinking food processing company rooted in the same principles of the original butcher shop: quality and value. For four generations, the food professionals at JTM have provided great-tasting, quality foods and the highest level of customer service to customers who demand the best. n Feilhauer’s Machine and Water Jet Cutting www.feilhauers.com Returning to a system that handles income tax in-house is another change that he believes will be a benefit. “For years we did our tax collection in-house, and I feel that there’s more value to that. Things change, the boundary of the city might change, and it can take a very long time for that third party to keep up with that, and we’re losing revenues. If we bring it back in- house, we can control those revenues and ensure that they are being collected timely,” he says. In alignment with those two initiatives, Hamons says the exit three interchanges is also a priority, conveying, “That is a link to that 500,000 square foot building, and other developable industrial ground in that area. Relieving the pressure from the new residents that will be using that to go to the north end will make the truck traffic flow much better for our industrial users. We did get a $4.4 million grant, and the city, the county, and the township will be adding approximately $1 million each. That will enable us to really keep up with our industrial growth.” Eying the future with optimism and laying the groundwork for further economic development, Harrison, Ohio clearly is a city on the rise.
