MINERSVILLE – When 50 local business and government representatives visited the new warehouse at Wegmans Retail Service Center at Highridge on Thursday, the reception was warm, but the temperature inside "RSC 3," was chilly.
It has five temperature zones to keep refrigerated and frozen foods in peak condition. They range from 34 degrees at a dairy cooler on one end of the quarter-mile long, 492,000-square-foot facility and negative 20 degrees on the other end, according to Lance Miller, the operation manager at the center at 820 Keystone Blvd.
What warmed the hearts of Darlene J. Robbins, president of the Northeast Pennsylvania Manufacturers and Employers Council Inc., Frank J. Zukas, president of the Schuylkill Economic Development Corporation, and others present was the fact that project created more than 200 jobs.
