Sendai, Japan-based IRIS USA has purchased a 34-acre site in Humboldt East and soon will begin construction of its first plant on the East Coast, an $84 million, 500,000-square-foot manufacturing and distribution facility. When completed the plant, will create 95 full-time jobs.
RBMN, a three-time Railway Age Regional Railroad of the Year, worked with CAN DO, a non-profit industrial/economic development corporation serving Greater Hazleton in Northeastern Pennsylvania; Penn’s Northeast, Northeastern Pennsylvania’s regional economic development agency; and others in helping IRIS choose the Humboldt site. “Reading & Northern’s ability to build the necessary track infrastructure for a reasonable price and in a timely matter was critical in the IRIS deliberations,” the railroad noted. “We also worked with other local partners to provide economic incentives to IRIS so that it was able to choose this site. CAN DO’s marketing department worked for more than one year with the Governor’s Action Team on the project, assisted by Hazle Twp., the Hazleton Area School District and Luzerne County, which provided vital tax incentives through the LERTA (Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance) program.”
