BRISTOL, PA — DEP Secretary John Hanger visited the
Bridge Business Center in Bristol, to announce that the
BBC received a Pennsylvania Energy Development Authority
Grant totaling $1 million. The funding is provided by the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The mo ney
will be used to install a highly efficient energy system
– including micro-turbines, chillers and a cooling tower
in a retrofitted chemical laboratory.
The $2.6 million project has created more
than 50 temporary jobs and is expected to save 1.8 million
KWh/year, generate 4 million KW/year and reduce local carbon
dioxide emissions by 2,522 tons annually. Significant energy
savings will be passed along to the tenants including Bucks
County Community College, AE Polysilicon, A&C Pharmtech
and Chemistry Research Solutions.
The Bridge Business Center is a thirty-acre
industrial and manufacturing site located in Bristol Township,
in the Lower Bucks Enterprise Zone and the Bucks Bio-KIZ
Keystone Innovation Zone. The space available at Bridge
Business Center includes high-end, specialty research chemistry
and biology labs, advanced manufacturing facilities suitable
for contract manufacturing & pilot plant operations,
and related corporate and administrative office space.
Doylestown based Keystone Redevelopment Group
has been working to reposition the 200,000 plus square feet
of existing laboratory, office and manufacturing buildings,
which were part of Rohm and Haas holdings until 2005, to
meet the anticipated growing demand of these industry sectors
in this region.
