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 to Dayton from suburban Cincinnati, the company’s owner said this week.

The company on Saturday, Oct. 31, 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 from within the immediate neighborhood.

Integrated Solutions and Services has a total of about 40 employees, with 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 eventually to 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.
