Beginning in 2013, the WCOED played a key role helping to locate Creative Plastic Concepts in the Village of Sycamore.  At the time, the company was considering the purchase of the Sycamore facility that had been shuttered 8 years prior by Toledo Molding and Die.  Through the company’s initial commitment to the location, the WCOED helped to obtain grant funds through a Community Development Block Grant and ODOT’s Office of Jobs & Commerce to improve road infrastructure and truck access for the plant.  The local Ohio Means Jobs of Wyandot County office also assisted CPC with the recruitment of new employees.

Construction of of 12,600 square foot addition is now underway at the company’s Sycamore location.  The work is being completed by Clouse Construction Corp. of New Riegel, OH.
