7/16/2009 - Greater Richmond ARC Now Offers Scanning Service

So far, ARC has one client -- the Tobacco Indemnification and Community Revitalization Commission, which distributes tobacco-settlement money for economic development.

Michael Foley, director of new business development at ARC, said the group has targeted other potential clients.

Most companies, he said, have large reserves of paper files and records that could be digitized. The move could save companies space, which in turn saves money.

Marshall Butler, president of ARC, said prices vary depending on the job, but all the profits will be used to operate the organization.

"We're always looking for ways to bring in revenues," he said.

ARC, formerly known as the Richmond Area Association for Retarded Citizens, serves more than 1,400 people. Of those, more than 550 are in the infant and child-development services program.

About 200 people work for ARC Industrial Services, which contracts work from local companies to raise money for the organization as well as provide jobs.

Employees work either at ARC's 16,000-square-foot production facility on Westwood Avenue or on-site at local businesses and government facilities. Their jobs include assembling or shipping products.
