Significant Economic Boost for Luzerne County as New Manufacturing Facility Breaks Ground

The industrial landscape of Luzerne County is set to transform with the introduction of a new manufacturing facility by SendCutSend. The project, which represents a substantial investment of $63.2 million, is expected to generate 309 jobs, marking a pivotal moment in the region's economic development.

Governor Josh Shapiro announced that Pennsylvania successfully secured this investment by SendCutSend, a digital manufacturing company, by offering a competitive package that included a $3 million commitment from the Commonwealth. This decision was made after a robust competition with Ohio, highlighting Pennsylvania's strategic position and commitment to fostering business growth.

Pittston, a city in Luzerne County, has been chosen as the location for SendCutSend's first manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania. The establishment of this facility is anticipated to not only create job opportunities but also spur economic activity in the area, further solidifying Pennsylvania's role as a leader in the Northeast for industrial development.

Governor Shapiro remarked, "This investment is a testament to Pennsylvania's robust workforce and strategic location, making it an ideal choice for SendCutSend's expansion." The Governor emphasized the importance of such investments in bolstering the local economy and enhancing employment prospects for residents.

The new facility will focus on digital manufacturing, a sector that is rapidly growing and evolving. By attracting a company like SendCutSend, Pennsylvania is positioning itself at the forefront of technological advancements in manufacturing, ensuring that its workforce is equipped with the skills necessary for future industry demands.

The decision to choose Pennsylvania over Ohio underscores the competitive advantages offered by the state, including its skilled labor force and strategic initiatives to support business expansion. As the facility begins its operations, it will serve as a catalyst for further industrial investments in the region, drawing attention from other potential investors looking for a favorable business environment.
