William Catlin, Lordstown Board of Education president, said school leaders met Monday with a TJX representative, who discussed with them a proposed 75 percent, 10-year tax abatement for the $160 million, 1.2 million-square-foot distribution center the company proposes to build on Ellsworth-Bailey Road. Catlin said the company offered $350,000 for construction of an athletic building and $150,000 for school security upgrades such as metal detectors and secure vestibules at school entrances.
