RBMN engineIndustries thrive in Greater Hazleton’s Humboldt Industrial Park because of the area’s competitive operating costs and strategic location near the crossroads of Interstates 80 and 81. Another added benefit is immediate access to the quality railroad system that runs directly through several sections of the 3,000-acre park.

When Reading Blue Mountain & Northern Railroad (RBMN) took over rail service in CAN DO’s Humboldt Industrial Park on January 1, companies in Greater Hazleton immediately saw the benefits they would receive from the rail carrier’s personalized service and quality access to rail transportation for their goods and services.

The 123,000-square-foot facility on Forest Road became the latest investment in CAN DO’s real estate portfolio. “We wanted to ensure that Pretium Packaging remains in Hazleton and continues to provide jobs for its approximately 150 employees,” said Joseph Lettiere, CAN DO’s Vice President.

Greater Hazleton has proven on numerous occasions that it possesses an abundance of available employees who are highly skilled at a variety of business and industry positions and are dedicated to effectively doing their jobs every day.
