U.S. Playing Card may be closer to moving

Today’s Business Courier is reporting that United States Playing Card Co., located on Beech Street in Norwood, has applied for $5 million in state tax incentives related to a proposed relocation site in Boone County, Ky. Property locations in Ohio have also been under consideration, including the recently vacated 29-acre Showcase Cinema site in neighboring Bond Hill. U.S. Playing Card President Phil Dolci told the Business Courier in this March 21 article that the company, a subsidiary of Jarden Corp., was exploring relocation options and could make a decision by the end of June. Mayor Tom Williams told both the Business Courier and City Council that he/the City would do everything possible to keep the company in Norwood. Unfortunately, there are no other sites within the city that are large enough to accommodate their operation.
