April 20, 2023 - Mt. Union, PA
Governor Josh Shapiro and Acting Department of Community and Economic Development Secretary Rick Siger toured the Mt. Union facility of Cabinetworks, a national kitchen cabinet manufacturing company making a $23 million investment that will create 327 new manufacturing jobs in Huntingdon County. With financial support from the Commonwealth, Cabinetworks announced a $23 million investment into the expansion of its existing Mount Union manufacturing facility after it received a funding proposal from the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) for a Pennsylvania First grant and workforce development grants. Governor Shapiro's budget proposes a $12 million increase for the Pennsylvania First program to ensure funding opportunities for more expansion projects are available to bring future transformational investments and high paying jobs to rural Pennsylvania. "Under my Administration, Pennsylvania is open for business, and we are making investments in rural Pennsylvania to ensure communities like Huntingdon County have every opportunity for economic growth," said Governor Josh Shapiro. "Cabinetworks made a commitment to Mount Union and to Pennsylvania - a commitment that will bring 327 new jobs to this community - and my Administration is proud to partner with them and other companies like it to create more opportunities like this all across Pennsylvania."
