The Packerton Yards development project is moving forward, Carbon County officials say.
During the county commissioners' meeting on Thursday, Commissioner Wayne Nothstein, chairman, said the county needs to apply for a grant extension for the Packerton Yards Industrial Park project. The project is planned for the 59-acre site that straddles Mahoning Township and Lehighton, which was purchased by the last administration on Feb. 25, 2005.
