The building north of U.S. 40 has a Concorde Drive address near Dayton International Airport. It began operations this January and is expected to employ 350 people in time.
Recently, Ken Burns, vice president operations for Spectrum Brands, said the site has 187 permanent employees, with the number of temporary workers fluctuating from about 125 to 200.
A price on the draft ordinance seeking the conveyance is $1,303,627.99.
