U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan of Howland, D-13th, announced Saturday that TJX HomeGoods has completed its purchase of approximately 290 acres in the village on which TJX has said it plans to build a distribution center on Ellsworth Bailey and Hallock Young roads that will create about 1,000 jobs once the facility is fully operational.

“After many months of meetings, debates, campaigns, and litigation, I am excited that it is finally time to get construction underway on TJX HomeGoods,” Ryan said in a statement.

“This was about teamwork. So many people have worked together to make sure this project came together, and today it is finally becoming a reality. I would like to give a special thank you to state Sen. Sean O’Brien of Bazetta, D-32nd; state Rep. Glenn Holmes of Girard, D-63th; Lordstown Mayor Arno Hill; James Dignan, CEO of Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber, and Jobs Ohio.”
