When a group of investors decided they wanted to sell their investment property in Humboldt Industrial Park, CAN DO, Inc. stepped in and purchased the building to ensure that its tenant, plastics manufacturer Pretium Packaging, could continue its operations without interruption.
The 123,000-square-foot facility on Forest Road became the latest investment in CAN DO’s real estate portfolio. “We wanted to ensure that Pretium Packaging remains in Hazleton and continues to provide jobs for its approximately 150 employees,” said Joseph Lettiere, CAN DO’s Vice President.
Greater Hazleton has proven on numerous occasions that it possesses an abundance of available employees who are highly skilled at a variety of business and industry positions and are dedicated to effectively doing their jobs every day.
This was evident again earlier this year when internet services company Web.com chose to re-shore 74 jobs from the Philippines to its facility in the CAN DO Corporate Center in Drums, increasing the company’s workforce to nearly 350 employees.
Governor Tom Wolf conducted a press conference at the Drums facility to officially announce the completion of the re-shoring efforts. Wolf spoke highly of the many positive attributes companies will find in Greater Hazleton.
CAN DO adds another shovel ready site to its already significant portfolio. A 52.7-acre site with immediate access to Interstate 81 and all utilities in place right at the curb is available in the Humboldt Industrial Park in Hazle Township, Pennsylvania.
The site was recently rezoned from general commercial to industrial and is suitable for manufacturing, distribution and logistics companies. It has a dual water source and easy access into and out of the park via Interstate 81 and State Route 924. It has prime visibility from Interstate 81 and is just eight miles from Interstate 80.
