Ottawa area sees growth as Schaff Steel and AE Distribution expand
Ottawa and Franklin County enjoy two major expansions despite broader outsourcing trends. Schaff Steel of Arizona, after acquiring Havens Steel, adds 25 jobs with room for 30 to 40 more, backing projects like a Disney corporate office in Glendale and a mineral facility in Peru. Nearby American Eagle Outfitters Distribution Center plans a 540,000 square foot expansion to support Martin Osa, creating over 200 new jobs and a $7.5 million annual spend, with construction expected to start this spring and full operation within a year.
