The Shapiro Administration and the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce celebrated the growth of Kolmar USA with a ribbon-cutting at its new $60 million facility within Scott Technology Park in Lackawanna County. Kolmar’s second campus will create an additional 280 new jobs, while retaining an additional 290 existing positions. The project — initially announced in 2019 — included an incentive package from DCED for $480,000 in Job Creation Tax Credits (JCTC) and a $126,000 WEDnet grant to train workers. The project is also located in a Keystone Opportunity Zone (KOZ) which has provided the company $4.6 million in tax benefits.
