A news conference has been scheduled at the site, with Gov. Ed Rendell, Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato and representatives of the Allegheny County Airport Authority on hand for ceremonies marking the start of construction of a new 200,000-square-foot facility.
Although officials are not releasing details in advance, Charles Johnson, president of Flabeg Brackenridge plant, confirmed Monday the reason for Rendell's visit.
The company is one of Brackenridge's largest employers with about 185 workers.
Officials of the Buncher Co., the Pittsburgh-based developer of the Clinton Commerce Park, told the Tribune-Review recently that a local company has signed a letter of intent to occupy a 200,000-square-foot office and manufacturing building in an expansion that could mean 150 to 180 new jobs.
Last week, Allegheny County Director of Economic Development Dennis Davin said a Brackenridge company would be opening the facility and bringing about 300 new jobs to the Findlay area.
The building is expected to house 150 jobs at the start and eventually about 300, said Kevin Evanto, a spokesman for Onorato.
A new tenant would be the second company attracted to the industrial park, which is located less than a mile from Pittsburgh International Airport.
American Tire Distribution will occupy this fall about 90,000 square feet in a 200,000-square-foot building Buncher built as a speculative structure in the park.
