In New Castle, PA, a four-story facility has been proposed at the site of the former Lockley Manufacturing building. The Planning Commission listened to a presentation for the proposed 119,050-square-foot facility to go in at 306-310 Grove St. Asset Realty & Construction Group owns the current building, which would be demolished to make room for a new building, which would include interior loading, surface parking, new driveways and site improvements. The Planning Commission voted 3-1 to recommend the city council approve a conditional-use request for the project. The new facility would be climate-controlled and have 12 parking spaces.
