Bucks County Company To Undergo $41M Expansion, Create 60 New Jobs

Sixty new jobs will soon be available in Bucks County.

United States Cold Storage, Inc., a refrigerated warehouse and logistics company, will be expanding operations in Richland Township. USCS will undergo a $41.5 million, 200,000 square foot expansion of its existing facility at 1050 Heller Road.

The project will create 60 new, full-time jobs within three years, according to information from the governor's office. Hiring of new employees will likely start this August.

“USCS is excited to be expanding our facility in Richland Township, and we appreciate all the support from the community,” said Mickey Hoffmann, United States Cold Storage vice president of corporate development. “This facility stores refrigerated foods that are distributed across the U.S., and its ideal location is part of the reason we need to expand the warehouse to meet additional customer demand.”

USCS received a funding proposal from the Department of Community and Economic Development that includes a $120,000 Pennsylvania First grant, $21,600 in WEDnetPA funding for employee training, and $120,000 in Job Creation Tax Credits to be distributed upon creation of the new jobs.

“United States Cold Storage has experienced tremendous growth over the last 13 years. Through these efforts, the company has directly invested more than $110 million, leveraged more than $100 in additional capital investment, and created more than 500 jobs in Pennsylvania,” said Governor Tom Wolf in an announcement this week.

The project was coordinated by Governor’s Action Team, an experienced group of economic development professionals who report directly to the governor and work with businesses that are considering locating or expanding in Pennsylvania, in collaboration with the Bucks County Economic Development Corporation (BCEDC), the governor's office said.
