DAYTON — Integrated Solutions and Services Unlimited Inc., a provider of records management and other administrative support services to federal agencies and business, has relocated its headquarters office to Dayton from suburban Cincinnati, the company’s owner said Monday, Nov. 2.

The company on Saturday moved into the second floor of a Dayton-owned building at 1024 W. Third St. under a three-year lease, with a renewal option, said Clarence McGill, the firm’s president and owner.

Eight employees with a combined payroll of nearly $250,000 have relocated to the Dayton office. McGill, who is among those relocating, said he hopes to hire up to 20 additional employees within three years, as he expands the business.

“I grew up in Dayton. I kind of wanted to come back and help with the tax base,” McGill said in a telephone interview Monday.

The building that his company has occupied in the Wright-Dunbar neighborhood is in a HUB (historically underutilized business) zone, a category created to give small businesses in such areas an advantage in competing for federal contracts. Because it is a HUB zone, McGill said, he is committed to hiring 40 percent of his new employees within the immediate neighborhood.

Integrated Solutions and Services has a total of about 40 employees, including offices in Ann Arbor, Mich.; Las Vegas, and Raleigh, N.C., McGill said. The suburban Cincinnati office, in Springdale, is to be phased out, he said.

The company’s primary customers are the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Navy. McGill said he hopes to eventually serve Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

The Dayton building’s first floor is occupied by the Inner West Priority Board, a volunteer citizens’ organization that advocates for the community. The city solicited a new tenant to help share the building’s operating costs, said Judy Martinson, of Dayton’s planning and community development department. The City Commission approved the lease in October.

The 10-year-old company had revenues of about $3.5 million last year, McGill said.

So someone says Mcline has nothing to do with a company coming into Dayton but yet she is the only cited reason why companies are leaving??

Oh its raining outside - McLine must be up to something! I know it's easy to point fingers at one person and blame them (especially when they don't look like you), but the problems nationwide and specifically in Dayton run much deeper than just one person.

I just hope those same Mcline bashers have the nerve to blame the next mayer for any reason.

Todd,
It would be a good move for your business. You'll have the choice of good properties with a large amount of unfinised space. Not to mention a good tax break.

Politics asside, this is good news for Dayton. I still do not agree McLin is good for Dayton. Everybody in the suburbs need to understand that Dayton is important to them also because it is in Mongomery county. Dayton isn't much different than other Northern urban areas ruinned by manufacturing jobs moving over seas or going out of business because of high labor costs and higher taxes. The taxes on business are high because where else would you get taxes in the city of Dayton?

This positive article is not about ridiculing the Mayor or one of the progressive business owners of the area. It’s about a successful business moving into the city and creating well paying jobs. These negative comments by the uniformed are what causes people from the suburbs and exurbs to dislike Dayton when they have no idea what they are taking about. Remember the world is bigger than the south suburbs and the Greene.

"Sandy" is obviously Sandy Mendelson, who has made a large fortune off of the City of Dayton and Mayor McLin. Anyone who continues to heap praises on these clowns in city hall after the last 8 years obviously has some hidden agenda.

I chuckle at the ignorance of the DPSU employees in the City of Dayton. Under McHat's leadership they have had layoffs, cuts in benefits, pay freezes, and they still endorse her...is this ignorance or a payoff in the DPSU leadership.
