Pre-RFPCapital ProjectsDetected Jun 29, 2026

Luzerne County's Community Planning and Economic Development Committee met June 29, 2026 to discuss a LERTA tax abatement for NorthPoint's Tradeport 164 Building 11 in Nanticoke. Building 11 is a proposed 283,000 SF warehouse/industrial facility with about $32 million in capital investment and projected 111 operational jobs, and it already has zoning and key city approvals, with subdivision and land development plans still under review. The county-level LERTA decision is a key remaining step, creating a near-term window for consultants, design/engineering, construction, traffic, security, and industrial services vendors to engage as the project moves from entitlements into build-out and tenant fit-out.

Site is former Blue Coal strip mine reclaimed by Earth Conservancy and planned as part of Tradeport 164 industrial park. LERTA tax modeling table lays out county abatements and taxes over 10+ years.

Public Updates

Hitech Hospitality requested a 12.5-foot waiver from the 45-foot maximum building height to build a hotel at 2914 E 32nd St. This was a variance case, so the city was reviewing land-use approval rather than buying a service. The signal matters because the hotel project could drive future construction, design, and site work once approvals are complete.

Public Updates

Built by BL LLC requested a 20-foot waiver from the 25-foot rear setback for a single-family home at 827 S Empire Ave. The item was a variance hearing, not a procurement award. It is still useful because it points to a private residential build that may lead to design, construction, and site-related spending after approval.

Public Updates

The Planning Board scheduled a public hearing for a major subdivision at 340 East Broadway. EBT Associates LLC proposed dividing a 1.45-acre lot into four conforming single-family residential lots with associated site improvements and infrastructure required by the Village Code. The matter is still in the land-use review stage and may drive follow-on work for survey, civil engineering, and subdivision infrastructure.
