Last week, the Tyrone Borough Zoning Hearing Board gave permission to Reclamere Inc. to build a dock addition to the rear of its property on Pennsylvania Avenue.
\n\u201cThere are really two purposes for the addition,\u201d said Joe Harford, vice-president of sales annd marketing at Reclamere, a company which disposes of computers and resells usable components and hardware. \u201cFirst, it\u2019s to address safety issues. Secondly, it will aid in working with the increased through-put of this company.\u201d
\nAccording to Harford, the 576-square-foot addition will allow two tractor trailers and a 24-foot box truck to pull up and load or unload at the same time.
\n\u201cThis is a direct result of what has been happening with Reclamere,\u201d said Harford. \u201cWe need to ramp up as our business continues to grow.\u201d
\nHarford also said with the addition will come more jobs.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re not exactly sure how many jobs we will create, but we know we\u2019ll be adding at least one more full-time employee by the end of the year,\u201d he said, \u201cand possibly more will follow.\u201d
\nWork on the project, which is estimated to cost about $25,000, is to begin promptly.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re going to be digging the footers Thursday, laying block Friday and hopefully pouring the platform the following Monday,\u201d said Harford.
\nHarford credits the continuous expansion to the media.
\n\u201cI think people, with all the newspaper coverage and television coverage, are more aware that they can\u2019t throw their computer equipment in the trash,\u201d said Harford. \u201cWe\u2019ve really gotten our name out there and people recognize what we do.\u201d
\nBefore moving forward with the project, Reclamere had to approach the zoning hearing board for a variance for the project.
\nAccording to Tyrone Borough Code Enforcement Officer Tom Lang, the variance from the borough\u2019s rear setback was needed because the addition will have the structure 9 1\/2 feet from the rear of the property. The current borough ordinance requires a 30-foot rear setback.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
