宾夕法尼亚州：玻璃纤维厂商投资440万美元在亨廷登扩产，州政府配套逾180万美元、新增26个岗位
宾夕法尼亚州州长乔什·夏皮罗（Josh Shapiro）10月28日宣布，玻璃纤维制造商Superior Huntingdon Composites LLC将投资440万美元扩建其位于宾夕法尼亚州亨廷登县亨廷登自治市（Huntingdon Borough）的工厂，未来三年新增26个全职岗位，并保留现有74个全职岗位；州政府为该项目配套投入逾180万美元。
州政府的配套包括宾夕法尼亚工业发展局（PIDA）1687757美元贷款，以及「宾夕法尼亚优先」（Pennsylvania First）计划20万美元拨款。扩建将重新启用工厂内自2012年闲置至今的第三条生产线，厂址位于萨斯奎哈纳大道1200号。
该公司生产玻璃纤维连续原丝毡与表面毡，产品用于国防、电力与能源、建筑材料、交通、基础设施和船舶等行业。公司总裁兼首席执行官贾森·塔卡奇（Jason Takac）表示，公司在亨廷登从事玻璃熔制与纤维化生产已有五十多年，这次扩产将延续这一传统。
夏皮罗说，制造业是宾夕法尼亚经济的支柱，州政府将继续为企业扩产和创造就业提供支持。州社区与经济发展厅厅长里克·西格（Rick Siger）表示，这项投资体现了州政府与地方企业之间的伙伴关系。据州长办公室统计，夏皮罗上任以来，宾夕法尼亚已落实逾430亿美元私人投资、创造约29000个就业岗位。
Pennsylvania: Governor Shapiro Secures $4.4 Million Investment From Superior Huntingdon Composites to Expand in Huntingdon County, Creating 26 Jobs
Gov. Josh Shapiro announced on October 28 that Superior Huntingdon Composites LLC will invest $4.4 million to expand its fiberglass manufacturing operations in Huntingdon Borough, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, creating 26 new jobs over the next three years and retaining 74 existing full-time positions, with the Commonwealth investing more than $1.8 million in the project.
The state's support consists of a $1,687,757 Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority (PIDA) loan and a $200,000 Pennsylvania First grant. The expansion will reactivate a third production line at the company's facility at 1200 Susquehanna Avenue that has been idled since 2012.
Superior Huntingdon Composites manufactures fiberglass continuous filament mat and veil used in the defense, power and energy, building materials, transportation, infrastructure and marine industries. President and CEO Jason Takac said the company has been fiberizing glass in Huntingdon for over five decades and that the expansion builds on that legacy.
Shapiro said manufacturing is a cornerstone of Pennsylvania's economy and that his administration will keep backing expansions that create jobs. Department of Community and Economic Development Secretary Rick Siger called the project an example of the Commonwealth's partnership with local employers. According to the governor's office, the Shapiro administration has secured more than $43 billion in private-sector investment and roughly 29,000 jobs since taking office.
