NORTHUMBERLAND — New state funding will support industrial site development and cleanup around here.
· In Northumberland County, officials say DRIVE will receive about $5.75 million to prepare more than 100 acres in Point Township. The work includes grading, utility relocation, and installation of a 125,000-gallon water tank. This is DRIVE’s former Encina recycling site.
· In Schuylkill County, officials say more than $3.1 million will improve a 26-acre parcel in Foster Township’s Highridge Business Park.
· In Columbia County, officials say nearly $936,000 will help demolish two asbestos-contaminated buildings at the Berwick Industrial Development Association complex. The buildings total 14,400 square feet and will clear space for future development.
