CLEARFIELD – A new manufacturing facility received the go-ahead from the Lawrence Township Supervisors.
At Tuesday’s meeting, the supervisors unanimously approved the land development plan and conditional use application for a new TAFCO manufacturing plant.
The supervisors also approved a motion giving TAFCO permission to proceed with the land development.
According to previously published GANT News articles, the company plans to build a 96,320-square foot factory on an 11.23-acre lot at 1395 Industrial Park Rd. The new building will replace the present TAFCO factory on Graham Street in Hyde.
The present factory employs between 80-100 employees and is looking to increase its workforce to 120 depending as demand for TAFCO products increases.
The company manufactures walk-in freezers and refrigerators. Potential employees can visit www.walkins.com under the “contacts” heading to fill out an application.
