Is any job a good job? – Your Voice Ohio

By M.L. Schultze

As you drive into southwestern Trumbull County, a few yard signs still mark the battle lines over TJX — a battle that centers on the question of whether any job is a good job.

Trumbull has lots of highways. Interstates 80 and 76 cut from the Pennsylvania line west; Route 11 ties north and south together. That’s attractive to companies like FedX, UPS and Macy’s, who have distribution centers in the area.

TJX, the parent company of Marshall’s, TJ Maxx and Homegoods, plans to join them with a 1.2 million square-foot, $170 million facility on 300 acres of green space in Lordstown that was zoned residential.
