Chase To Bring 1,150 Jobs To Columbus, Westerville, OH

JP Morgan Chase says it will bring at least 1,150 jobs to Central Ohio during the next three years.
By Donna Willis
COLUMBUS, Ohio —JP Morgan Chase said it will bring at least 1,150 jobs to Central Ohio during the next three years. NBC 4 reported with the FAST FACTS. Chase made the announcement Tuesday after months of lobbying on the state’s and city’s parts. At least 1,000 of the jobs were to be split between Chase’s McCoy Center in Polaris and its lending facility near Easton Town Center. The remaining 150 will be at the company’s Cleveland Avenue offices in Westerville, the company said. Columbus City Council on Monday, May 18, approved legislation with JP Morgan Chase to bring 1,000 new jobs into Central Ohio by the end of the year and retain another 10,000 positions. The city was expected to bring in $4.5 million in additional income tax from the new jobs over eight years. The deal was settled when council offered Chase a Jobs Growth Incentive of 35 percent for eight years and a Job Creation Tax credit of 65 percent for 10 years. About 900 of the new jobs are telephone customer-service positions serving Chase’s consumer and home lending customers around the country. Other positions will support the company’s technology, including its network of 14,000 ATMs. More than half the jobs are being created to help homeowners who are struggling with their monthly mortgage payments. “We are expanding in the Columbus area because we know employees here are educated, motivated and dedicated and because the city and state have been excellent partners,” Charlie Scharf, CEO of Chase Retail Financial Services, said. The acquisition of the new jobs is the first step of the city’s three-point plan to go from a $16-million shortfall to getting back in the black. Mayor Michael Coleman said the city has to be aggressive about finding jobs and opportunities locally. Second is the reformation of government, meaning making government more efficient. The third point is the passage of the half-percent income tax in August. The city said the three steps will be able to sustain essential city services, keep neighborhoods safe and maintain the quality of life that makes Columbus attractive to companies such as Chase. Anyone interested in applying for one of the new positions should go to http://www.careers.jpmorganchase.com for details and to complete an application.

Check out Plan Alternate Routes Now For S.R. 315 Construction
http://www.nbc4i.com/cmh/news/local/article/Plan_Alternate_Routes_Now_for_SR_315_Construction/16287/
Construction begins on state Route 315 in a couple of weeks and it will change the traffic pattern for tens-of-thousands of commuters. Now is the time to plan your alternate routes.

COLUMBUS, Ohio—Construction begins on state Route 315 in a couple of weeks and it will change the traffic pattern for tens-of-thousands of commuters.
The Ohio Department of Transportation plans to shut down the north bound lanes from Goodale Boulevard to Ackerman Road. All the traffic will be moved to the southbound lanes with one lane moving in each direction.
Nearly all of the northbound and southbound entrance ramps will be closed in the construction area.
All but two exit ramps will stay open.
Only the Medical Center and north-bound Ackerman off-ramps will close.
NBC 4 did some timing today. The project will begin after OSU’s commencement Sunday, June 14.
To get from I-670 to Ackerman Road takes just about four minutes. But the 670 East to 315 north ramp will be closed during the construction. An alternate route is to take I-70 east to 315 north, get off at Goodale Boulevard, before the construction, then take Olentangy River Road up to Ackerman Road.
That route takes nearly 14 minutes. More than triple the time.
And it does not include the additional delays for rush-hour congestion.
For example, near the Lennox Town Cener, Olentangy River Road narrows to just one lane where it rounds the curve near Herrick Drive. At the height of rush hour, expect long delays there.
Andrew Orton, the Assistant General Manager at Champps Americana Restaurant in the Lennox Center, is thankful that his work schedule may keep his commute from being too atrocious.
“Luckily for me, I come in at 6 o’clock in the morning,“ he says. He’s also trying to be optimistic. He hopes the construction will be good for the businesses in the area because there will be more traffic will be on the surface streets.
Champps Bartender Laura Roberts says she expects the construction will add about 15 to 20 minutes to her commute from Lewis Center. And she, too, has already thought about an alternate route.
“I’m hoping it won’t be too bad,“ she says. “I’ll just be getting off a couple of exits early and take Olentangy River all the way down, which I’m sure a lot of people will be doing, so that might make it a little
difficult.“
When you are preparing your alternate route, the internet can be an invaluable tool.
<>and Mapquest will create directions from your house to your office. They will also create alternate routes that avoid highways, calculate the new mileage and even estimate the new driving time. You can even change your route manually. But the websites can not predict how congestion and driver confusion will slow things down.
These exit ramps are set to close:
S. R. 315 NB – King Avenue exit/Medical Center Drive
S. R. 315 NB – Ackerman exit
These entrance ramps are set to close:
S. R. 315 SB – Olentangy River Road (near North Broadway)
S. R. 315 SB – North Broadway from West North Broadway
S. R. 315 SB – Ackerman Road
S. R. 315 SB – Lane Avenue
S. R. 315 SB – 12th Street (from OSU Medical Center)
S. R. 315 SB – Goodale Boulevard (across from White Castle)
S. R. 315 SB – Olentangy River Road (Lennox Town Center)
S. R. 315 SB – Lane Avenue
ENTRANCE AND EXIT CLOSING MAP
A special ODOT Web site will keep drivers updated. The site—http://www.buckeyetraffic.org/315—will feature interactive maps, current information, traffic advisories, detours and general project information.

Ohio losing 1,000 jobs, but biggest plant safe
http://columbusdispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2009/06/02/gm_ohio.ART_ART_06-02-09_A1_F0E25A2.html?sid=101
| Ohio losing 1,000 jobs, but biggest plant safe Tuesday, June 2, 2009 3:13 AM THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH GM coverage
ONTARIO, Ohio -- A very bad day for Ohio could have been much worse. General Motors yesterday announced it will cut about 1,000 jobs in the state, with 860 coming at a Mansfield stamping plant that will close next June. Smaller losses are expected when a distribution center in Groveport closes in December, claiming 81 jobs, and when a Parma powertrain operation that employs 46 is shut down a year after that. "Everyone did what they could to keep it open," Paul Williams said just outside the Mansfield plant, where he has worked for 40 years. The plant is located in Ontario, just outside the Mansfield city limits. "It's a very emotional time in there. It's a very emotional time for this community." But Ohio's largest GM plant, in Lordstown, will survive. The factory, though idled until at least mid-July, is scheduled to build the new Chevrolet Cruze compact. In all, GM announced it will close 14 plants and three parts centers nationwide. The automaker made the announcement as it entered bankruptcy with the intention of emerging as a much leaner company. But most of Ohio's GM operations will remain open, including: the Parma metal center, which has about 1,000 employees; Defiance foundry, with more than 1,500 employees; the Toledo transmission plant, with more than 1,300 employees; and Lordstown, with more than 2,200 employees, down from a capacity of more than 4,300. For all the plants, the employee numbers are a moving target, which has led to conflicting reports. The Mansfield plant, for example, has 1,337 workers, of which 409 have already been laid off and 68 are on sick leave, GM said. That would leave 860 employees actually on the job. But employees said the number is lower. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Urbana, whose district includes Mansfield, said he wants Obama administration officials to tour the plant and "look our workers in the eyes to tell them why they chose to close their plant." Williams, the GM employee, said he felt betrayed that his government is overseeing a plan that will eliminate thousands of U.S. jobs. "I think all the American worker wanted was a level playing field," he said, adding that some of his fellow employees expect to lose their homes. The tough decisions that led to the bankruptcy and closings will force equally tough decisions by local officials, including Williams, who is on the Ontario City Council. He said the income-tax revenue from plant employees is 33 percent of the city's total income-tax proceeds. Another city official said the tax loss would be about $1.6 million out of a $10 million general-fund budget. "It'll kill this town," said Robert Tammer, who has worked at the plant 30 years and was arriving for second shift yesterday. "Mansfield, Ontario, everything." Williams said he doubted the ability of Richland County's social-services network to handle the influx of unemployment cases. About 8,300 county residents already are without work, including about 300 workers at the Ontario GM plant who were laid off in January. Richland County's April unemployment rate of 13.2 percent was more than double its April 2008 figure (6.5 percent) and a third higher than the statewide average (10.2 percent). The county has lost a significant number of jobs since 2001 -- 244 at AK Steel, 320 at Mansfield Foundry, 297 at Burner Systems International and 261 at Crane Plumbing. But nothing on the scale of the GM plant. "It's a very big hit. It did not come as a big surprise, but it is a big disappointment," said Mike Greene, president of Richland Economic Development Corp., a nonprofit organization. Local officials had hoped the plant's high productivity would spare it, but GM's closings of assembly plants in the eastern U.S. has made it increasingly costly to ship Ontario-made parts, Greene said. While not easy during a recession, the development corporation will work to help retrain workers and lure more jobs while studying whether another employer might be able to move into the massive plant, or at least use parts of it, he said. This is the most recent of several devastating days for Ohio's auto industry, continuing a decline that will bring the company's Ohio work force below 10,000. The closest parallel may be from November 1986, when GM said it would shut down 11 plants nationwide, including an assembly plant in Norwood and a metal stamping plant in Fairfield, with a total of 6,500 Ohio workers. At that time, GM should have been taking the steps to avoid what happened yesterday, said Peter T. Ward, chairman of the department of management sciences at Ohio State University. "GM's leadership made short-term decisions that made good business sense, and left the harder job -- changing the structure of the company and the way products are made -- to somebody else," he said. He thinks GM's survival depends on its ability to develop and market fuel-efficient vehicles. This may be an uncomfortable shift for a company that padded its profits by selling SUVs and oversize pickups. With the closing of the Groveport center, GM no longer will have any significant presence in central Ohio other than its dealerships. The biggest losses in central Ohio came in late 2007 when the West Side parts plant closed. The plant, operated by GM and then by Delphi Corp., had a peak of more than 5,000 workers. Just around the corner from the vacant plant is Haydocy Pontiac Buick GMC. Dealership owner Chris Haydocy has watched the neighborhood struggle to deal with the loss of jobs, and now he will watch as GM tries to emerge from bankruptcy. "It's a sad day, and I guess it's a new chapter," he said. At the Mansfield plant, the pain was much more immediate. Todd Leatherow, a 13-year GM worker, sat on his motorcycle outside a local ice cream shop and wondered aloud what he will do next. He figured he has six to 12 months to figure out what to do next. The Ontario High School graduate, who had hoped to retire from GM, now realizes he will probably have to move away to find work. "This is devastating to this community," he said.
