CANTON, Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – Maybe no one has moved in yet, but there’s plenty of planning and work underway with the former AEP building in downtown Canton.
Now that the city owns the building, the upper floors are being considered for city departments, if there’s a need.
A consultant is putting together a report on that.
And the former building owner now known as Ohio Power will be moving 125 call center jobs from India to the 3rd floor.
That remodeling work has started.
And the 1st, 2nd and basement floors will be a Canton police-operated safety center.
But other agencies would be in the mix there, says Mayor Bill Sherer, including the Stark County Sheriff’s Office and perhaps state and federal agencies.
The city bought the structure and adjacent parking lots for a dollar.
