  • Council met in regular session on Tuesda

    Hazleton, PA
Minutes

Hazleton City Council held a regular meeting on November 10, 2020 via Zoom teleconference, during which attorney Ray Rinaldi presented a major development proposal for the old Pagnotti Mining site. The Hazleton Creek Commerce Center project represents approximately $500 million in capital investment and would include commercial buildings of one million square feet or more, with the developer requesting a 10-year LERTA (Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance) exemption while maintaining current tax collections on the existing property. The project is projected to generate $3.5 million to $6 million annually in tax revenue for the city, school district, and county once the exemption period ends, with land development review hearings scheduled for December.
