The Columbus operations of financial adviser Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC may add 250 administrative workers at its Easton offices under a Ohio Tax Credit Authority incentive approved Monday.

The panel approved at its meeting six deals that could create more than 630 jobs combined in Franklin County.

State details of the Morgan Stanley deal indicate the new workers would add a combined $9.2 million in annual payroll to the existing $7.8 million in payroll at the operation while adding 30,000 square feet to the company’s leased offices. The eight-year, 60 percent tax credit will begin in January 2012.

Three other deals also promise at least 100 new jobs each to the region:

• The Ohio Department of Development expects Janova LLC to expand its New Albany offices by 116 jobs that will add $10.4 million in annual payroll above the existing base of $2 million. That six-year, 60 percent credit begins in January, too.

• Columbus online payment services provider 2Checkout.com Inc. received an OK for a five-year, 60 percent tax credit in exchange for its pledge to hire 100 employees who would earn a combined $5 million a year. That project would double the company’s annual payroll.

• Third-party supply-chain manager Exel Inc. has pledged to hire 100 full-time-equivalent employees in jobs that represent an annual payroll of $1.35 million. The tax-credit panel approved a five-year, 40 percent tax credit for a project that also will include $1.5 million in fixed-assets investments. …
