KOZ Extensions Approved
The Community
Development Corporation
of Butler County is proud
to announce that the KOZ
(Keystone Opportunity
Zone) extensions for the
295 Delwood Road
building and the vacant
land known as Lot Six at
the Victory Road Business
Park have been approved
by their respective taxing
bodies and have been
submitted to Harrisburg
for final approval.
“We are extremely
appreciative of the
support that we received
from the Butler County
Commissioners as well as
the board members from
the South Butler County
and Butler Area School
Districts, the supervisors
from Clinton Township
and the commissioners
from Butler Township in
solidifying the sale of
these two properties,”
commented Executive
Director Ken Raybuck.
“The new owners of both
properties also want to
thank the governing
bodies who approved the
extensions and they look
forward to growing their
businesses in Butler
County.”

Developing Butler County‘s Future The Official Publication of the Community Development Corporation of Butler County
November, 2012
From the Executive Director’s Desk The CDC offices have been buzzing with activity over the past several months.
The CDC staff worked with the Tri-County Workforce Investment Board, CareerLink
and Career T.R.A.C.K, who are tenants in the Pullman Commerce Center (PCC) building, to meet their needs for reduced space. We also assisted Minuteman Press in meeting their expansion needs. There is still space available in the building
although the CDC is working closely with an organization that has interest in the former CareerLink space on the first floor. Please contact our office if you know of
anyone who has a need for leased office space, as we still have approximately 2,500 square feet available.
CDC committees continue to be active as well and the Investor Relations Committee assisted our office in recruiting several new members as noted in this
newsletter. The e-newsletter is now going out to the full CDC membership twice a month and assists our office in keeping members informed of our ongoing activities.
Please take several moments to review the e-newsletters when received and contact the CDC office if you have any questions or suggestions for us.
The Business Outreach Committee in conjunction with Carol Howryla, Manager of Economic Development, reinstituted the Business Outreach program in July. The
initial outreach is focused on existing CDC members/investors. If you would like to meet with a CDC staff member please let Carol or I know and we will be sure to arrange a meeting.
The CDC staff continues to work with local school board members, municipal
officials and the Butler County Commissioners to extend Keystone Opportunity Zones to assist current and prospective business park tenants with their needs for new space and expansion. We are awaiting the final approvals from the
Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development for both the Victory Road Lot Six and Delwood Road properties. More information on the
companies will be released when the sales are finalized; but we can reveal that ten new jobs in Butler Township and seventeen new jobs in Clinton Township will be created. We cannot thank the local taxing bodies enough for their assistance in
making these jobs a reality in Butler County.
It is the time of year that we begin invoicing our members/investors for their annual dues. The CDC reduced its space by moving to 111 Woody Drive in July and we continue to operate as efficiently as possible. We want to thank our existing
members and our CDC Champions for the financial assistance and other non-monetary support they continue to provide. Please attend our “Thank You” event
on November 15th as we celebrate the successes of 2012 and look forward to a brighter 2013. The CDC staff and board appreciate the financial support of each member/investor and your involvement in helping Butler County continue to grow.
Thank you!
Ken Raybuck
Executive Director
(Continued from page 1)
The 295 Delwood Road
building, which is owned
by the BEDC (Butler
Economic Development
Corporation), will become
the new home to a firm
that manufacturers glass
components for the
automotive industry. The
business will initially
employ eight individuals
and the firm’s owners
hope to invest more than
two million dollars in
equipment in the location
over the next three years.
“The new Delwood Road
business is definitely an
asset to the entire
county,” continued
Raybuck. “The business
owner is committed to
establishing a successful
manufacturing facility and
we are excited that he has
selected our county and
we welcome the business
to the Butler County
manufacturing
community.”
An eight acres lot located
in the Victory Road
Business Park also
received an extension to
its Keystone Opportunity
Zone designation. A
manufacturer of
components for the lock
and dam industry will
construct a building on the
premises that will employ
their current 17 member
staff and eventually add
additional fulltime
positions to the Butler
County workforce.
“I would like to thank Jeff
Elser and FirstEnergy for
the assistance they
provided to this business
in addressing their
concerns for adequate
electrical service at the
Clinton Township location.
Since the firm is required
to test their components
before they are shipped
this was a primary
concern in determining
where they would locate
and Jeff and FirstEnergy
were instrumental in
working with the company
to answer any questions
they had. This type of
cooperation is necessary
as we work to bring new
businesses to Butler
County,” stated Raybuck.
The paperwork for both
sites has been submitted
to the PA Department of
Community and Economic
Development for their
approval.
It looks like 2012 is
ending on a very positive
note here at the CDC as
these two transactions
appear to be the first of
several that will be
announced before the
year draws to a close.
“Thank You” For
Your Support
The Community
Development Corporation
would like to thank our
members/investors for
their support throughout
2012 and we invite you to
attend our Second Annual
“Thank You” event on
Thursday, November
15th.
The event will once again
be held at the Pittsburgh
Marriott North from
5:00PM to 6:30PM.
It’s an informal evening of
pre-holiday fun as we
gather to celebrate the
successes of 2012. In
addition we will also be
“giving back” to the
community as all
attendees are encouraged
to bring a jar of peanut
butter and/or jelly or
other non-perishable food
item for Gleaner’s Food
Bank.
If you are interested in
attending the event please
contact our office at (800)
283-0021 or via e-mail at
mbarlow@butlercountycdc
