Lt. Gov. Austin Davis announced a significant investment from the Shapiro-Davis Administration aimed at transforming a former industrial property in downtown Carlisle. The initiative is expected to create jobs and revitalize an important gateway to the historic city.
This investment is part of the Governor's first round of PA SITES funding, which totals $64 million awarded to 11 strategic sites across Pennsylvania.
"The business community is ready - they want to invest in Pennsylvania, and now we've got to do our part to make it happen," said Davis. "The Shapiro-Davis Administration is laser-focused on making Pennsylvania as competitive as possible, and these investments through the PA SITES program are part of our strategy."
The project will receive a $6,136,698 grant and a $4,091,132 loan for redeveloping the former Frog, Switch & Manufacturing Company property. The redevelopment includes environmental assessment and remediation, asbestos abatement, demolition of approximately 40 existing buildings, and site improvements.
Speakers at the announcement included Cumberland County Commissioner Kelly Neiderer, Lt. Gov. Austin Davis, Carlisle Mayor Sean Shultz, Andrew Notarfrancesco from Real Estate Collaborative, and Darrell Ruth, CEO from Frog, Switch.
