A New Jersey-based IT company is building a $9 million production center in Franklin County, which will create 100 new full-time jobs.
PlanITROI, LLC, a leading provider of secure, purpose-driven IT lifecycle management solutions, is establishing a “Center of Excellence,” according to information from Franklin County Public Information Officer James F. Hicks III.
“After an exhaustive national search for a location for our Center of Excellence, Franklin County stood out as not only an excellent location, but also a strong environment for us to grow and develop our next generation of PlanITROI teammates,” stated Paul Baum, the company’s CEO and founder.
“We are thrilled to welcome PlanITROI to Franklin County,” said Economic Development Director Barbara Fiedor. “Their investment and job creation will have a positive impact on our community and their commitment to being a strong community partner aligns with our values. This company’s investment underscores Franklin County’s dedication to attracting forward-thinking businesses aiming to enhance economic development while supporting community initiatives.”
PlanITROI is known for delivering complete end-to-end IT lifecycle management asset value recovery services and reverse logistics solutions, data security, and real-time transparent reporting and analytics. PlanITROI brings affordable technology to lower-income families, students, and businesses.
As part of its community engagement, the company’s nonprofit arm called Digital Dreams Project will donate refurbished computers to local schools and community organizations to support educational and community development as well as foster digital inclusion across Franklin County.
The Digital Dreams Project has provided affordable access to technology to more than 600,000 individuals in their mission to close the digital divide and empower underserved communities and drive transformative change.
The grand opening of the facility is anticipated to take place in early October 2024 and there will be a ribbon-cutting of the new facility anticipated to take place in early 2025.
