EASTERN ENGINEERED RELOCATING TO LVIP VII

BETHLEHEM - Eastern Engineered Wood Products has received a $2.25 million loan from the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority to consolidate and move its three facilities to a new site.

Eastern, a wholesale distributor of engineered wood products, will move to a 30-acre facility at LVIP VII at the Bethlehem Commerce Center, the former site of Bethlehem Steel in South Side Bethlehem. The company, which employs 60 people, currently has operations in Allentown and Bethlehem. The total cost of the move is $13 million. The company will use money from private investors and other sources to finance the remainder of the project.

Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corp. administers the PIDA loan program, and helped the company apply for the low-interest loan. Eastern will add 26 jobs over the next three years.
