The Greater Hazleton CANDO has been authorized a $459,669 loan to construct
a 120,000-gallons-per-day wastewater pump station that will provide sufficient
capacity for the planned expansion of the CANDO Corporate Center.
The Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority’s Board of Directors
on Wednesday approved $29.5 million in low-interest loans and $3.7 million in
grants to fund 17 drinking water, wastewater and storm water projects in 14

The corporate center is a major employer in the Hazleton area.
