Developer in Hazle Twp. wants to rezone 780 acres for 9 warehouses
PNK P1 LLC has requested a zoning change in Hazle Township, Pennsylvania, to develop nine large warehouses on nearly 780 acres of former mining and quarry land. The township zoning board has scheduled a hearing on the request for Oct. 20.
PNK P1 LLC is seeking to rezone nearly 780 acres north of Route 940 in Hazle Township from mining to industrial use. The proposal calls for nine warehouses ranging from about 397,000 square feet to 1.28 million square feet, along with a wastewater treatment plant and associated truck bays and parking.
The land is owned by Centre Lime and Stone, which has agreed to sell the property to PNK P1. The application does not identify future warehouse users or confirm whether the buildings would support production as well as storage. PNK is connected to PNK Group, a New York-based company that develops warehouses and data centers, while NorthPoint Development is among nearby property owners through an affiliate involved in the Greater Hazleton data center and warehouse market. Hazle Township's zoning board scheduled a public hearing on the rezoning request for Oct. 20.
