Industrial Development

The Punxsutawney Industrial Park is located on the border of Punxsutawney Borough and Young Township in Jefferson County. The park is a fully developed, 44-acre tract ideally suited for light industrial and warehouse/distribution facilities. All utilities are on-site and property tax abatements are available through the Pennsylvania State KOZ program.

The park is located less than one mile from U.S. Route 119, 18 miles from Interstate 80, and 25 miles from the DuBois Regional Airport, a designated general purpose Foreign Trade Zone and a scheduled-service airport offering flights to the Pittsburgh International Airport, a major US Airways hub.

The Punxsutawney area offers a skilled, dedicated workforce; quality training programs; competitive real estate taxes; and reasonable land costs - all of which make the Punxsutawney Industrial Park the ideal choice for start-up businesses, expansions, or relocations.
