Gene Tannler I Plant ManagerThe Hershey Company I Hazleton
“We really wanted to make sure Hazleton was the right fit before we made our final decision, because once we locate somewhere, we’re there long term. The combination of location, workforce, and the Keystone Opportunity Zone we found in the Hazleton area made us confident that this is the perfect location for Tootsie Roll.
I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the quality of folks. We have had a couple hundred apply. They are great people. We couldn’t be happier. And it’s a great community.”

Employers in Humboldt Industrial Park typically draw workers from a four-county area consisting
of Luzerne, Schuylkill, Columbia, and Carbon counties. Humboldt is located in the approximate
center of this four county area, near the intersection of I-81 and I-80. The region’s traditionally high
unemployment rates have helped employers find an ample number of qualified job applicants.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, through the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED), offers a wide variety of grant, low interest loan, and training programs to help businesses grow. Some of the state programs more commonly used by companies are listed below.
For more information on these and other Pennsylvania programs please visit dced.pa.gov.
JOB CREATION TAX CREDIT PROGRAM
Quick Summary: $1,000 per-job tax credit program. The Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) sets the amount awarded for each project. The company must pay at least $10.88 per hour. The company must claim credits within five years and agree to stay in PA at least five years.
The Job Creation Tax Credit (JCTC) Program is available to eligible businesses who, within three years from a negotiated start date, create 25 or more jobs or increase employment by 20%. Every new full-time job, up to a set maximum which meets certain minimum wage standards, will result in a $1,000 tax credit that the business can use to pay a number of state business taxes.
The business may claim these credits only after the jobs are created. A minimum of 25% of all tax credits available to be awarded each fiscal year will be allocated to businesses that employ 100 or fewer employees.
In order to be eligible to receive Job Creation Tax Credits, a business must demonstrate leadership in the application, development, or deployment of leading technologies in business operations. A business will be determined to meet this requirement if it:
• Conceives and develops new production or product technology, or • Improves its productivity by incorporating innovative processes
To be counted as new full-time employees under the JCTC Program, each new employee must earn an hourly wage rate of at least 150% of the federal minimum wage ($10.88/hour), excluding benefits, at the time the certificate is issued.
The business must agree to maintain its operation in the commonwealth for a period of five years from the start date. The start date will be the first day of the calendar year quarter in which an application is submitted unless the applicant requests and the DCED agrees to a later start date.
A business may claim a job creation tax credit of $1,000 for each new job created up to a specified amount, as approved by DCED. The credit must be claimed within five years of receiving the tax credit certificate, but in no case can it be longer than six years from the start date. Credits not claimed within this period will be forfeited.
A business may apply the tax credit to 100% of the business’s state corporate net income tax, capital stock/franchise tax or the capital stock/franchise tax of a shareholder of the business if the business is a Pennsylvania S corporation, gross premiums tax, gross receipts tax, bank and trust business shares tax, mutual thrift institution tax, title insurance business shares tax, personal income tax or the personal income tax of shareholders of a Pennsylvania S corporation, or any combination thereof. Cash refunds will not be issued for unused credits.
16
GUARANTEED FREE TRAINING PROGRAM
Quick Summary: Grant funding provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) for essential skills and advanced technology training. Max amounts are up to $450 per trainee and $75,000 per company for essential skills training and up to $850 per trainee and $50,000 per company for advanced technology training. To be eligible, employees must be full-time and earn at least $10.88 per hour.
The Guaranteed Free Training Program (GFT-WEDnetPA) provides grant funding for Essential Skills and Advanced Technology training.
The program’s Essential Skills training is limited to manufacturers and technology businesses, including biotech and environmental-technology companies, and provides up to $450 per trainee and $75,000 per company. Eligible training activities are those that directly improve the essential job skills required for the employee’s current position.
These job skills are central to the employee’s position and would likely be found in the employee’s job description.
The Advanced Technology training is available to most companies and provides up to $850 per trainee and $50,000 per company. Eligible training activities will be those that directly improve the advanced technology job skills required for the employee’s current position.
To be eligible for reimbursement, at the time of training an employee must be a resident of and employed in Pennsylvania, earn at least 150% of the current federal minimum wage, excluding benefits, be permanently employed full-time and eligible for full-time benefits, and be an employee of the specific company location awarded grant funds.
Training costs must be “reasonable” as defined by market rates and/or other criteria. Regardless of how it is conducted (classroom, online, etc.), each training session must be a minimum of 30 minutes in length.
Training can be provided by a WEDnetPA partner institution, the company’s in-house staff or any third-party provider.

PENNSYLVANIA FIRST PROGRAM
Quick Summary: Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) grant/loan program for companies that create/retain a substantial number of jobs. Provides funding for real estate, M&E, job training, etc… The company must pay at least $10.88/hour. A $10 to $1 private investment match is required. The max assistance is $5,000 per job (discretionary).
Businesses can receive support in the form of grants, loans and loan guarantees for job training, property acquisition, site preparation, land and building improvements, purchasing or upgrading machinery and equipment, infrastructure, environmental assessments and remediation, and working capital.
Businesses must achieve one of the following standards within three years of receiving Pennsylvania First Program funding: (1) create or retain a minimum of 100 full time jobs at the project site; (2) increase their full time employment within the commonwealth by at least 20%; (3) provide a substantial number of new, full time employment opportunities within a high growth industry;
or (4) create or retain fewer than 100 full time jobs at project sites that are located in counties or communities suffering from high unemployment.
The program requires participants to commit to operating at the approved project site for a minimum of seven years. Full-time employees must earn at least 150% of the federal minimum wage ($10.88/hour). Loan terms can be up to 15 years for real estate and infrastructure and up to 10 years for machinery and equipment. Interest rates will be set at the time of approval and will be based on the 10-year Treasury rate. Each annual Pennsylvania First Program appropriation must leverage at least $10 in private investment for every $1 of program assistance awarded.
The maximum assistance amount shall not exceed $5,000 for each job projected to be created or retained. DCED has discretion to modify this amount for special circumstances.
The project may not commence prior to the approval of Pennsylvania First Program assistance without the written consent of the DCED to incur project costs. Commencement of work prior to receiving DCED’s approval will result in the project becoming ineligible for funding consideration.

PENNSYLVANIA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FINANCING AUTHORITY TAX EXEMPT BOND PROGRAM (PEDFA)
Quick Summary: Tax-free bond program. Provides loans between $400,000 and $20,000,000. Helps manufacturers and non-profit 501(c)(3)s among others. Funds real estate, M&E, working capital, etc… The loan term can be up to 30-years but not more than 120% of the depreciable life of the assets being financed. PEDFA can finance up to 100% of eligible project costs but will usually loan less because the participating bank will likely require some equity. Can be in a pool or stand-alone. Companies must apply through an Industrial Development Authority (IDA) or an Industrial Development Corporation (IDC). Loan rates are typically 20% to 30% lower than commercial alternatives.
The Pennsylvania Economic Development Financing Authority (PEDFA) Tax Exempt Bond Program assists in financing land and building acquisition, renovations and new construction, machinery and equipment acquisition and installation, as well as working capital.
Those eligible for the PEDFA Tax Exempt Bond Program are industries such as manufacturing, energy, solid waste disposal, wastewater treatment, transportation facilities, assisted living/housing, and nonprofit 501(c)(3).
The loan amount must be a minimum of $400,000. The borrower, along with its affiliates, together cannot incur more than $20,000,000 of capital costs in the city or municipality of the project during a six-year period beginning three years prior
to the date of the bond closing. These capital costs include the current project costs and any outstanding tax-exempt debt. Up to $1,000,000 of tax-exempt financing, including outstanding tax-exempt debt, is allowed without regard to the $20 million capital costs limit.
The loan can be up to a 30-year term but no more than 120% of the depreciable life of the assets being financed. Interest rates are generally 20% to 30% below comparable commercial alternatives. Weekly variable interest rates generally track against the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Index (SIFMA), a weekly municipal interest rate index that serves as the industry benchmark.
For each composite pool project, the PEDFA loan amount must be in multiples of: (1) $25,000 if the loan amount is less than $1 million; or (2) $100,000 if the loan amount is $1 million or greater. There are no specified loan increments for stand-alone projects.
While up to 100% of qualified costs may be funded, in most cases lenders or credit banks require a significant equity contribution.
All applications must be submitted online by a local IDA or IDC, which is the “Applicant”, through the Electronic Single Application located at dced.pa.gov.
The project may not commence prior to the approval of Pennsylvania First Program assistance without the written consent of the DCED to incur project costs. Commencement of work prior to receiving DCED’s approval will result in the project becoming ineligible for funding consideration.

fit-out, to property management. In short, we do it all.
This unique corporate structure keeps your stress level
to a minimum and ensures that your project will be
completed on time and on budget.
VALUE
By utilizing the master builder concept, we are able
to cut out unnecessary profit centers and provide you

systems in the United States, means we are able to offer
you an unmatched level of innovation and flexibility.
Our in-house design and engineering teams include
some of the industry’s most experienced professionals
in dealing with Butler systems. Every material, coating,
part, and process is tested to ensure strict compliance

THE MERICLE DIFFERENCEMARKET KNOWLEDGE
Our executive team and the vast majority of our
approximately 250 employees are natives of this
region. Five of our executives have backgrounds in local
economic development and can offer you guidance
on incentive financing, employee recruitment, job
training, family relocation, community contacts, and
much more. We also have strong relationships with local
municipalities, permitting agencies, utility companies,
and suppliers. This depth of local experience ensures

already been planned, permitted, subdivided, cleared,
graded, and compacted. In addition, because Butler
systems can be erected quickly and without expensive
on-site modifications, we’ll cut your construction time
by as much as 30% compared to the methods used by
competing developers.
AVAILABLE SPACE
We are always building speculative industrial, office,
flex, and medical buildings on our ReadyToGo!™ Sites.
As such, we have far more existing space available than
any other developer in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

or one million square feet, we will very likely have a
property that works for you.
