Richardson Woodworking Relocation and Expansion (LERTA)
Description
Richardson Woodworking is moving its sawmill and industrial wood manufacturing business from borrowed space in Worth Township to a shuttered industrial site in Hickory Township, building 10,000 square feet of new structures and adding six to eight employees. The county's LERTA approval gives it a five-year stepping-down property tax exemption.
Impact summary
A vacant industrial site comes back to life with a growing local employer, more jobs, and new manufacturing that will supply construction sites across northwestern Pennsylvania.
