The Ohio Tax Credit Authority has awarded a 65% tax credit for aseven-year term to the contractor to entice CSC to locate in thestate. The value of the tax credit is $5.4 million, and the firm isrequired to stay at the site for at least 14 years, according tostate officials. The building is expected to be complete bySeptember.

Todd Duplain, director of development for Mill-Morgan, says theoffice market should remain very strong for the next five to sevenyears. Since the federal Base Realignment and Closure committeedecided in 2005 to close a few military bases and move assets toWright-Patterson Air Force Base, nearby Beavercreek and othercommunities have benefited greatly, he says. "Since the base becamea 'receiver' site, there are many programs and missions coming toWright-Patt, along with additional jobs and contracts," Duplainsays.

In fact, the 15-acre Pentagon Park was so named to attractdefense contractors, according to Duplain. The company is alsobuilding another 25,000-sf office building on the site, as well asa 148-key Hilton Garden Inn and a restaurant.
