Workforce Availability

Mericle understands that a critical factor in your site selection decision is whether there is adequate available labor to staff your new operation at 1065 Hanover Street.  As such, Mericle asks you to consider several factors during your deliberations.

First, the building is located in a densely populated area. According to Esri, 182,320 people live within 10 miles of 1065 Hanover Street, 405,969 people live within 20 miles and 708,961 live within 30 miles. Also, more than 312,000 people live within a 30-minute drive.

Second, because the building is just 1.75 miles from I-81 via S.R. 29, your employees will find it easy getting to work every day.

Third, Hanover Industrial Estates is already home to dozens of companies that have succesfully staffed their operations there.  These include Alexandria Moulding Company, Cintas, Chewy.com, CVS Caremark, Pepsico, Adidas, Patagonia, Core-Mark, Wren Kitchens, and many others.

Also, as indicated below, Northeastern Pennsylvania’s  unemployment rate almost always runs higher than state and national averages.  Typically, 25,000 to 30,000 people who live within 30 miles of Hanover Industrial Estates are unemployed.
