This facility is part of Lineage’s growing network of over 80 locations that demonstrates the company’s commitment to innovation in cold storage and keeping food safe and secure.
The facility also brings new employment opportunities to the Greater Hazleton Area, contributing to the local economy by offering roles that develop technical skills in a dynamic and fast-paced environment. Once fully operational, Lineage’s Hazleton location will create over 150 skilled and technical jobs, including equipment operators, maintenance technicians, and leadership positions, providing opportunities for career growth and family-sustaining wages in the region.
Lineage’s investment in Humboldt Industrial Park underscores how CAN DO’s parks are attracting world-class companies. With more than 120 industries and 15,000 jobs within their parks, CAN DO continues to play a key role in bringing economic growth to the Greater Hazleton region.
