Our Parks
Humboldt Industrial Park
Developed by CAN DO, Inc. in 1970, Humboldt Industrial Park is a well-established industrial hub stretching five miles along PA State Route 924. Conveniently positioned off Exit 143 of Interstate 81 and minutes from the Interstate 80 interchange, Humboldt offers exceptional access to major transportation routes.
The Park sits within a day’s drive of 1/3 of the U.S. population and half of Canada’s, making it a highly competitive business location.
Humboldt Park supports various types of manufacturing, e-commerce/distribution, retail/commercial and even corporate and back offices. The Park offers fully developed sites with infrastructure installed to the curb that was designed specifically to support industrial tenants.
Water
CAN DO Inc. supplies quality water throughout the park through 12- to 16-inch
ductile iron mains at pressures and flow rates suitable for heavy industrial use.
Fire protection is aided by four standpipes ranging from 800,000 to 1,000,000 gallons,
which ride on the system.
Humboldt Industrial Park also features an interconnection with the Hazleton City
Authority which provides additional water capacity.

Sanitary sewage service is provided by CAN DO Inc. and includes gravity lines
ranging from 8-to 12-inches, as well as a 6-inch force main.

Tenants
Development Phases
-
Humboldt
Established in 1972, this is the original and most well-established section of Humboldt Industrial Park. While the area is nearly at capacity, a limited number of vacancies remain available for development. Current tenants include major national brands such as Amazon.com, The Hershey Company, Nestle Health Science, and American Eagle Outfitters.
-
HIP West
By the mid-1990s, CAN DO identified the need to expand Humboldt. In early 1996, development began on Humboldt West, a 300-acre, rail-served industrial property that quickly attracted developers and sites sold rapidly. Today, Humboldt West is home to leading companies such as Cargill Meat Solutions, PFNonwovens, Michaels Distribution Center, and FedEx Supply Chain.
-
HIP North
With the success of Humboldt West, CAN DO turned its attention to the undeveloped land just north of the growing park. In the late 1990s, CAN DO began designing and developing Humboldt North, a 400-acre, rail-served tract across PA State Route 924 from Humboldt proper.
Humboldt North’s development proved to be a successful venture in CAN DO’s economic development efforts as many manufacturing, food processing and distribution centers located here and it is now home to AutoZone, Gonnella Frozen Products, U.S. Cold Storage, Independent Trading Company, Lineage Logistics, and more.
-
HIP East
In 2003, CAN DO purchased land to the east of Humboldt proper to allow for further expansion. Today, Humboldt East is fully occupied by companies such as IRIS USA, Ingram Micro, Romark Logistic, and more.
-
HIP Northwest
In 2008, approximately 366 acres was acquired by CAN DO to the west of Humboldt North. Currently home to Niagara Bottling – the largest facility within Humboldt at 1.2 million square feet, CAN DO is master planning the remaining 150 acres for future development. These parcels hope to accommodate larger manufacturers and private development projects.
