Brokers say the goal is to find a buyer who can bring new jobs and new investment back to the community.<\/p>\n<p>Glass made there found its way into homes across America, but in 2025, the furnaces went cold and hundreds of years of manufacturing history came to an end. <\/p>\n<p>The site has sat vacant since last year&#8217;s closure, but brokers believe its existing infrastructure could make it attractive to manufacturers looking to expand.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What makes it unique is the rail access, proximity to Pittsburgh and the heavy industrial zoning. Those characteristics will offer a wide variety of potential uses,&#8221; said Chris Draper, senior vice president for GA Group.<\/p>\n<p>The property sits about 30 miles south of Pittsburgh with direct access to Interstate 70. <\/p>\n<p>According to Draper, interest is already coming from manufacturers drawn to both the site&#8217;s industrial footprint and history.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I envision having a replacement turnkey user here that manufactures a product, relies heavily on the workforce that&#8217;s available in this community, and grows with the property. There&#8217;s a good amount of acreage here to do a lot with, and I think it provides a unique opportunity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For a community that watched one of its largest employers shut down, many are hoping the next company that comes through these gates brings workers with it.<\/p>\n<p>GA Group says interested buyers have until Aug. 13 to submit formal offers for the property. After that, the company will review bids and begin negotiations with potential buyers.<\/p>\n<p>\n          More from CBS News\n        <\/p>\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More than a year after the historic Corelle glass plant closed its doors\u00a0in Charleroi, Washington County, the future&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":249149,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[73,75,74,437],"class_list":["post-249148","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news","tag-washington-county"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249148","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=249148"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249148\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/249149"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=249148"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=249148"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=249148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
