The purpose of this Golden LEAF grant is to help Halifax County prepare an 18-acre site and upfit a 50,000 sq. ft. shell building to accommodate a sensor manufacturing facility. Halifax County is negotiating with PCB Piezotronics of Buffalo, NY, to locate the company’s planned expansion at the site. The County will retain ownership of the finished building and lease the facility to PCB Piezotronics for an initial 10-year lease at fair market value. PCB will commit to create 250 new jobs over 5 years and estimates 500 jobs over 10 years. PCB will also invest $2.5 million over 5 years. The annual average wage at the facility will be $26,000/year.
