First North Building Welcomes New Law Firm
MASSILLON, Ohio (August 30, 2017) – Massillon’s newest building, the First North Building, located at First Street and North Avenue NE, secured its second tenant: Krugliak, Wilkins, Griffiths & Dougherty Co., L.P.A.
Krugliak, Wilkins, Griffiths & Dougherty Co., L.P.A. is an Ohio-based law firm that provides legal counsel to individuals and clients throughout widely diversified industries on a local, regional and national level. The firm anticipates handling part of their business out of the new building by February 2018.
“We are excited to expand our firm to include an office in Massillon,” said Terry A. Moore, its Managing Director. “Each of our more than 55 attorneys is passionate about the communities we serve, and we look forward to serving the western Stark County community from the First North Building.”
“KWGD is a great addition to Massillon,” said Robert Gessner, president of First North Holdings. “A number of long-time Massillon attorneys retired in the past couple of years so it’s great to see some young attorneys starting their practices in downtown Massillon. They will bring youthful energy to town, backed up by the experience and resources of a larger, regional law firm.”
KWGD joins the Massillon WestStark Chamber of Commerce as First North Building tenants. The chamber is set to relocate to their office space in September. “I am pleased to welcome KWGD as Massillon’s newest law firm and our new neighbor at First North,“ said Ted Herncane Massillon WestStark Chamber President. “I look forward to welcoming more companies to our new building and neighborhood.”
“This facility is an exciting opportunity for businesses looking for prime space in Massillon. We are offering a high-quality building that has great amenities, customizable space and no fuss maintenance for professionals,” said Robert Gessner. “It’s no surprise that our first two tenants were eager to sign leases and even more eager to move into their spaces once finalized.”
The two-story, approximately 27,000 square-foot professional office building offers suites from 1,000 to 13,000 square feet. Suites can be designed by the tenant to provide the exact space tenants need. The building project is expected to greatly improve Massillon’s ability to attract new businesses and to offer a state-of-the-art office complex for community organizations and corporations that are in search of a work space upgrade.
MCTV, a local broadband and cable provider, is building the facility but will not occupy the new space.
