JC Penny will be shutting its doors but that doesn’t mean that Findlay is in trouble. Economic Development director Tim Mayle said that other factors forced the business to close over 100 stores.
Mayle said that the good news is that the employees of JC Penny might not be unemployed.
Mayle explained that economic development has its hands in many different pies. They do not focus on industrial development. They also look for enhancements in the retail market, housing, and workforce development.
