Beaver County officials cite nearly 900 jobs from recent business wins and expansions
Summary
At the work session, the Chair reported nearly 900 new jobs secured across five companies, highlighting projects by Mitsubishi and a $250 million expansion at Stozo Glass, plus a McCor ribbon-cutting retaining several hundred jobs in West Aliquippa.
During the commissioners' work session the Chair reported a recent trip to Harrisburg with surrounding counties and state agencies, and said the county has "gained almost 900 new jobs from five different companies" through retention and expansion efforts.
The Chair highlighted several specific items mentioned to the group: a Mitsubishi advanced switch gear project scheduled for the fall; an upcoming McCor ribbon-cutting expected to retain several hundred jobs as McCor relocates to a new facility in West Aliquippa; continuing expansion by local plastics firms (identified in the session as Kenson Plastic Plastics) and a reported $250 million expansion at Stozo Glass. The Chair credited the Beaver County Corporation for Economic Development and the Pittsburgh Regional Alliance for assisting with recruitment and retention.
The commissioners framed the announcements as evidence of progress in attracting family-sustaining wage jobs. No formal incentive packages, contract actions, or vote outcomes were described during the work session; the items were presented as status updates and accomplishments.
