Penn State University and a coalition of regional partners have secured a $39.9 million grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration to establish the DuBois Center for Innovation Regional Manufacturing Hub at the current Penn State DuBois campus. The project will give new purpose to the site following the campus’s planned closure in 2027 and support innovation in advanced manufacturing across north-central Pennsylvania. The facility is expected to be located in the DuBois Educational Foundation Building, with construction and buildout anticipated to take approximately 16 months.
