Armco Officials Press Ohio Tax Relief to Spur Growth
Armco Steel Corp executives in Middletown say Ohio’s high taxes threaten future expansion. They cite three plants built in Pennsylvania, Alabama, and Illinois due to lower tax rates and warn that 54 percent of Armco’s property tax burden is in Ohio. A $100 million coke plant will proceed regardless, but further Ohio expansion hinges on tax reform.
