An Amazon order-fulfillment center opened in the northern end of the neighborhood in 2023, employing about 1,000 people in its 1 million square foot facility just north of U.S. 62. Across the highway, Stark County's Sheriff's Office operates its headquarters and a jail, alongside the Stark County Humane Society.
