“The Humboldt Industrial Park is located in the north east section of
the township just north of the Village of Sheppton. The industrial
park has been generating income for the township through earned
income tax and local service tax during the years of the KOZ. In 2011
most of the parcels started paying real estate tax, this increased our
tax income $63,000.00. This additional income provides more
services to the taxpayers.”

The KOZ has had an incredibly positive impact on the community in Bedford Township, Bedford County. Bette
Slayton, President of the Bedford County Development Association, said it best when she described the
Omni Bedford Springs Resort as the “poster child” for the KOZ program. The reopening of the historic hotel has
spurred the development of the downtown with new businesses, retail stores and restaurants. The Omni Bedford
Springs Resort was recently rated #8 on the Top Resorts in North America by Travel & Leisure. The November 2011
issue of Martha Stewart Living Magazine dedicates an 8-page spread on the resort and surrounding area.
The Bedford Resort Partners undertook a historic restoration of the Omni Bedford Springs Resort. The iconic hotel
opened over 200 years ago, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1984. In 1983, the resort had to
close its doors due to a flood and again in 1987 due to financial hardships that the hotel could not recover from.
Few properties can boast the historic significance of the Bedford Springs Resort, located in the Allegheny Mountains
of south-central Pennsylvania. For more than 200 years, the eight mineral springs located on the resort’s property
served as an important gathering place. Eventually, the resort would be the site of many significant moments in
American history, hosting a long list of celebrities, wealthy clientele, corporate magnates and dignitaries from
around the world. To date, the resort has hosted 10 US presidents, seven of whom visited during their presidency.

In 2004, the resort embarked upon an unprecedented restoration and expansion effort. The KOZ designation
allowed for the restoration to be made. In 2007, the Bedford Springs Resort was returned to its original beauty and
is the perfect blend of the past and the future.
The total cost of the restoration and expansion was $180 million, an investment made with both private and public
funds. Currently there are 400 employees at the resort, 270 are employed full time. The KOZ expired at the end of
2010 and the property is currently on the tax rolls. The resort pays a 2% hotel tax that is now generating $250,000
a year for the community.

“The KOZ program played a huge role in enabling the hotel to get on its feet.
Without the KOZ program, the hotel would not have reopened.”

In 1995, the Schuylkill Economic Development Corporation, (SEDCO), acquired a 175 acre parcel of land from the
Schuylkill County Tax Claim Bureau in Tremont Township along State Route 209. The parcel, a former mining
operation which was both strip mined and deep mined in the early part of the 20th century, was in the possession
of the county as a result of unpaid property taxes. The property was pock marked with pits filled with illegally
dumped household garbage and generally overgrown with weeds and brush. It had no access to public sewer or
water facilities.
SEDCO invested $66,000 for remediation and preparation of the site. In 1998, they were granted an original KOZ
designation and rezoned for industrial use. The KOZ designation took effect on January 1, 1999.
Big Lots/Consolidated Stores worked with the Governor’s Action Team and signed a purchase agreement with
SEDCO in June 1999. As part of the negotiation, the company promised 300 jobs and a capital expenditure of $25
million. They constructed a 1.3 million sq. ft. building which now employs 438 people in a very rural section of
Schuylkill County. Property value went from $0 in 1995 to $29,183,620 in 2011 when the KOZ expired.
The building represents the largest structure in Schuylkill County; its construction increased the assessed value of
all properties in Tremont Township by 359% from $5,237,120 before Big Lots to $9,828,930 after Big Lots KOZ
expired in 2010. More people work at the distribution center than live in all Tremont Township (250).

Case Paper is one of the largest, if not the largest, paper merchant/converter in the United States. Headquartered
in New York, the company has offices in 7 major U.S. cities, including Philadelphia, and an office in Toronto.
Case Paper moved into its Philadelphia location in 1988 and occupied the basement and first floors of an old condo
building on Tioga Street. Case Paper also rented a portion of the adjacent building, known as the E Street
Building. In 1997, the company was looking to create a facility to combine its Long Island/Queens office with the
Philadelphia office. Originally, Case Paper was working with a neighboring county at a specific brownfield site.
The site had some contamination and engineering problems they were trying to work through.
Meanwhile, the Tioga Street area in Philadelphia was becoming increasingly undesirable, with more and more
businesses shutting their doors and abandoning the area. Around this same time, the enacting KOZ legislation was
being finalized and Philadelphia officials recognized the importance of including the Tioga Street location as a
designated KOZ in an attempt to avoid complete deterioration of the area.
Upon learning of the approved KOZ designation, Case Paper decided to keep their operations in Philadelphia. They
bought the second floor and moved their offices from the basement to the second floor. They continue to lease the
adjacent building. Case Paper currently occupies over 700,000 sq. ft. between the first and second floor of the
Tioga Street facility and the adjacent E Street Building.
Because of the KOZ program, Case Paper stayed in Philadelphia preserving 130 jobs. The amount of investment
totaled several million dollars. “No question, we would not have stayed if it would not have been for the KOZ.”

When Tootsie Roll Industries (TRI Sales Co.) needed a home for a new distribution center for the Northeast
region, they looked to Pennsylvania. Logistically, Pennsylvania was a prime location because of the easy access to
Interstates 80, 81 and 476, enabling the company to efficiently service the entire Northeast. Pennsylvania
provided many desirable properties, but the property located in the Hazle Township, Luzerne County Keystone
Opportunity Zone (KOZ), was the site TRI Sales Co. chose. The tax benefits the KOZ program provides was the
deciding factor.
The 19 acre site offered a good standing building consisting of 240,000 sq. ft.; however the interior needed work.
The KOZ benefits assisted the company in being able to invest $17.5 million into the necessary renovations. When
TRI Sales, Co. began operations at its PA location in January 2009, they had 6 employees. Today there are 12
employees. In addition to the location and KOZ tax benefits, the company has been impressed with the workforce
of Pennsylvania.
TRI Sales Co. gives back to its community. They support the food bank with donations of their products. They also look
for other needy causes to support such as the soup kitchen and churches holding events to assist the underprivileged.
“Tootsie Roll has been such an excellent addition to the community.” Nancy R. Stasko, Director of Administration with
CAN DO, Inc.
TRI’s commitment to their community is further demonstrated when Interstate 80 had to be closed during the
devastating floods from Tropical Storm Lee in September 2011. The state police asked CAN DO, Inc. in Hazelton
for assistance in finding parking lots for the truckers that were stranded due to the road closure. TRI Sales Co.
provided assistance beyond that. In addition to providing their parking lot for the truckers, staff stayed overtime
to allow the building to remain open throughout the night. They provided refreshments, restrooms and a place for
the truckers and state police to stay during the emergency.

In September 2006, Alvin H. Butz, Inc. relocated their South Whitehall Township headquarters to a new 85,000 sq.
ft. office and retail space at the southeast corner of 9th and Hamilton Streets in the heart of downtown Allentown.
The decision to purchase property and build a new $20 million, Class A office building downtown would not have
been possible without the availability of the KOZ designation.
The building is 90% occupied with 12 tenants and approximately 150 employees. Other tenants include Discover
Lehigh Valley, Lehigh Valley Arts Council, Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, Roberson Butz Architects,
Lee A. Butz offices, Federal Community Defenders Office, Stoudt Financial Services, offices for U.S. Senator Bob
Casey and Sangria Restaurant and Café Central.
The modern six-story structure features a glass-enclosed atrium, fabulous views of South Mountain and downtown
Allentown and an FAA-approved heliport located on the roof. The building has sustainable features including high-
efficiency fixtures & valves, minimal exterior lighting, extensive use of daylight and a unique HVAC system.
Recycled products were also used for the interior.
While the decision to build the Butz Corporate Center in downtown Allentown was made primarily with the hope of
benefiting the center city, that decision and the design of the building have made a positive environmental impact
on a much broader scale. The construction of the building on a previously developed urban site preserves other
greenfield sites and utilizes existing infrastructure including public transportation options.
There were 128 relocating companies, resulting in the creation of 721 new jobs.

In 1889, the American Car and Foundry (ACF) began in Berwick, Columbia County when it purchased the Jackson
and Woodin Manufacturing Co. which manufactured iron pipe and did bridge castings prior to starting railway car
manufacturing. At its peak, ACF employed more than 4,000 Berwick residents and over 10,000 total. With the
decline of the railway industry, ACF closed the plant in 1962 and along with it approximately 2,800 family
sustaining jobs. The Berwick Industrial Development Association (BIDA) then purchased the ACF complex. BIDA
is an economic development group that helps businesses, site selection consultants and commercial realtors find
available land and buildings in the Berwick area of Columbia County. In 1999, BIDA applied for and received KOZ
designation for a portion of their BIDA complex property of approximately 40 brownfield acres.
In 2001, BVK, Inc (previously SPEDD Corp) purchased approximately 19 acres of the KOZ property. As a private
developer, BVK invested approximately $6.88 million and turned the property from a brownfield with dilapidated
buildings into a site with four new buildings housing businesses that employ local residents.
This KOZ designation facilitated reinvestment in a brownfield site by a private developer. A total of $12 million was

The Titusville Opportunity Park is a 200+ acre site in Crawford County. The site was the former home of the
Armco Steel Property. In 2000 the Titusville Redevelopment Authority acquired the site and began developing the
business park. Phase III was completed in 2010 and Phase IV is currently underway. Development is expected to
continue an additional 10 years.
The site included approximately 900,000 sq. ft. of industrial buildings. Extensive remediation and rehabilitation
have been part of the process to renovate the site into a multi-tenant complex. To date, approximately 600,000 sq.
ft. have been renovated. The PA Department of Environmental Protection has guided the Titusville Redevelopment
Authority’s remediation of the brownfield environmental concerns and the wetlands delineation. The sites
remediation included two designated capped areas for a former municipal waste and industrial waste sites.
Additionally, the site boasts all new infrastructure, from its own electrical grid, new natural gas mains and a
wireless internet company to provide the necessary internet access for businesses.
The Titusville Redevelopment Authority has not had a loss of a major employer during the current economic
downturn. They feel confident that this is due to their conscious effort to attract a diverse mix of companies to the
community. This approach has provided long term stability in its community. The Titusville Opportunity Park is
home to 24 companies from industry sectors including information technology, plastics, advanced manufacturing,
heavy precision steel fabrication, wood and professional services. These companies employ over 200 employees.
Total investment into the Titusville Opportunity Park is in excess of $25 million of public and private funds.
The KOZ designation played a huge role in offsetting the cost of the development and attracting businesses.
The KOZ expired in 2010.
Businesses located in the industrial park continue to grow and expand. They have three companies currently
completing or planning additional expansions. Phase IV and V include renovation of additional office space for
professional firms/companies focusing in the Utica Shale market place.
The number of businesses operating in the KOZ’s across the state has grown from 1,660 in 2007 to 1,718 in 2010.

Turkey Hill Dairy (THD) is a large producer of ice cream, bottled iced tea and lemonade. THD is rapidly becoming a
national brand, with products sold in 46 states and several foreign countries. Turkey Hill ice cream is preferred by
more Pennsylvanians than any other and is among the top selling brands in the US, while their refrigerated iced tea
and beverage line has been the #1 seller in PA and the U.S. for more than 20 years.
THD’s primary production facility is located eight miles from Columbia Borough. THD was looking for a site to
create a tourist attraction to enhance their brand and promote their products. THD chose Columbia Borough in
Lancaster County to construct the Turkey Hill Experience because it was the site of their very first home–delivered
milk route almost 80 years ago. Their decision to locate there was also influenced by the visibility along Route 30
and the fact that it represented an opportunity to be part of a large urban renewal initiative. Turkey Hill has
supported the preservation of farmland in Lancaster County for many years. They understand that a commitment to
urban redevelopment is crucial in the preservation.
The site chosen for the Turkey Hill Experience was a rundown old silk mill with only a brick shell remaining. IBS
Development Corp. invested approximately $7 million into rehabbing and constructing the facility. The Turkey Hill
Experience building could have been constructed on a greenfield site; in fact, construction costs for the project
were substantially lower on a greenfield site. However, the parties involved in the development of this project
wanted to address more than just the issue of cost. By locating the Turkey Hill Experience where they did, an
existing building and site that was vacant for 30 years was reused. The benefits received through the KOZ Program
certainly contributed to the success of the project. The support received from the borough, state, community
members and many others made the Turkey Hill Experience a viable project.
The Turkey Hill Experience was completed in early summer of 2011 and created a destination that gives people a
reason to come to a town where few outsiders ventured. This project contributes to the ever growing tourist base in
Lancaster County by providing an additional world class destination.
