Lancaster County based High Steel Structures will invest more than $11 million expand operations at its Lycoming County facility. Governor Tom Corbett’s office applauded the state’s investment in public/private partnerships.

High Steel was recently awarded a contract to supply steel for the Tappan Zee Bridge replacement project in New York. The company will add 30,000 square feet to its existing 170,000-square-foot facility in Williamsport. High Steel will invest more than $11.4 million to support the expansion through site improvements and new equipment and has committed to retaining its 700 employees.

“We’re proud and delighted that Governor Corbett is partnering with us in Williamsport,” said Brian LaBorde, President of High Steel Structures Inc. “The grant helps to make possible a significant project for the Lycoming County community, as well as for High Steel. This demonstrates the power of public-private cooperation in Pennsylvania.”

The Department of Community and Economic Development partnered with High Steel Structures Inc. on a $430,000 Pennsylvania First Program grant.
