Company breaks ground on cold storage facility in Hazleton

Arcadia Cold joined local Hazleton and Pennsylvania state officials, as well as Saxum Real Estate, to celebrate the groundbreaking for its new Hazleton Cold Storage Facility.  

The site is located west of Hazleton off US Interstate 81 in the heart of the Northeast distribution market. The event was hosted by the CAN DO of Greater Hazleton. 

This event marks Arcadia’s third groundbreaking of its national cold storage platform to be developed in strategic markets across the United States. Hazleton’s location will be a frozen and refrigerated distribution center facility with 30,000 pallet positions designed to support high-volume throughput handling services.  

The site will serve as a hub for the Northeast states with access to large metropolitan markets of New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington DC and the New England region.  

“The Arcadia Team is very excited to announce our third cold storage location in Hazleton, PA as part of our larger national greenfield platform strategy,” said Arcadia Cold CEO Chris Hughes. “We anticipate leveraging this strategic site to support our customers’ need for a quality Northeastern U.S. regional distribution hub that offers a variety of value-added service offerings in this 30,000 pallet facility. We are grateful to CAN DO for their support in helping to bring this project to fruition and – most importantly, for helping to bring new, quality jobs to Hazleton and the surrounding area.”
