Why Manufacturing?
Reshoring is the process and return of vital manufactured parts, goods, and technology to America.
River Pointe Commerce Park will serve as a model for industrial campuses while becoming a pivotal part of the new American economy that rebuilds our manufacturing infrastructure and global competitiveness.
Manufacturers are preferred because of their long-term commitment to local communities. Manufacturers typically stay in one location longer, invest more in their real estate, and tend to produce better jobs.
High Demand in the Lehigh Valley
The Lehigh Valley industrial real estate market continues to thrive, showing robust demand for space in one of America’s fastest-growing markets.
Manufacturing in the area represents nearly 20% of its GDP, accounting for $8.4 billion of the region’s $47 billion in GDP output. This is 12% of the total U.S. economy, and 18% of the region’s output, and it continues to grow.
The area has seen record-low vacancy rates in industrial developments and communities like Upper Mount Bethel Township have the unique opportunity to welcome world-class manufacturers that will secure the nation’s supply chain and improve local competitiveness.
Aligning with Governor Shapiro’s Goals
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has stated that making the Commonwealth a leader in innovation, job creation, and economic development is a top priority for his Administration.
River Pointe Commerce Park will do just that - increase innovation, bring over 4,000 good-paying jobs to the area, and promote economic development in the region. The project is aligned with both state and national goals to bring robust manufacturing back to the Lehigh Valley region and the United States.
