Governor Wolf Announces Manufacturing Company Guardian Booth Relocating Headquarters from New York to Central Pennsylvania

“The relocation of Guardian Booth’s headquarters is a tremendous win for Pennsylvania,” stated Gov. Wolf. “This manufacturer will bring new jobs to Franklin County and retain employees when it purchases Homes by Keystone, which otherwise would have closed its doors. Between our prime northeast location and skilled workforce, the commonwealth has much to offer to manufacturing companies looking to set up shop and succeed in Pennsylvania.”

Guardian Booth has dedicated to investing $4.5 million into its relocation venture and create 33 new, full-time jobs throughout the subsequent three years. As a part of its acquisition of Homes by Keystone, situated at 13338 Midvale Road in Waynesboro, the corporate may also retain the prefabricated dwelling builder’s present 20 staff.

“We are so grateful to the state of Pennsylvania for welcoming us into the community and for the great opportunity that this presents to our company in its entirety,” stated Abraham Taub, proprietor and chief government officer of Guardian Booth, LLC. “Our strategic directive was to expand our geographical reach to support customers throughout the mid-Atlantic, northeast, Midwest and southeast while increasing our manufacturing footprint over the next few years; Franklin County was the perfect fit in terms of location. We feel lucky to have found Homes by Keystone which has lots of synergy to our existing business model and allows Guardian Booth to expand its portfolio into modular prefabricated homes.”

The firm obtained a funding proposal from the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) for a $165,000 Pennsylvania First grant, a $106,000 workforce growth grant to practice its new staff and was inspired to apply for the division’s Manufacturing Tax Credit (MTC) program.

The venture was coordinated by the Governor’s Action Team, an skilled group of financial growth professionals who report straight to the governor and work with companies which might be contemplating finding or increasing in Pennsylvania.

Through GAT, Gov. Wolf has invested greater than $17 billion over the previous seven years to assist 420 accomplished initiatives, create greater than 47,000 new jobs, and retain greater than 143,000 jobs for Pennsylvanians.

“The Franklin County Area Development Corporation is excited to welcome Guardian Booth to Waynesboro,” stated Mike Ross, President, FCADC. “The economic development support of its acquisition of Homes By Keystone and the relocation of its current operation from Orangeburg, New York, which will result in $4.5 million capital investment, the creation of 33 new jobs and the retention of 20 existing employees reflects a collaborative effort of the FCADC and the Governor’s Action Team.”
