Moeller urges letters for Athens IRS data center bid
Congressman Walter Moeller urged Southeastern Ohioans to write to President Kennedy supporting a proposed multi million dollar IRS data processing center for Athens. He noted Athens competes with Cincinnati for the project, which could employ 1500 to 1800 and add over six million in annual payroll, and argued Athens offers a land site and qualified personnel. He contrasted with Cincinnati’s risks to Civil Service jobs if the center goes elsewhere and cited regional economic benefits and related projects such as the Belleville Reedsville dam and Racine dam timelines.
