The facility under consideration is PenLight’s current headquarters which serves as the operational base for dispatch, line crews, engineering, information technology, accounting, warehouse, fleet, supply storage, administration and member support since the 1980s.
As part of a responsible and comprehensive evaluation, PenLight, the Board of Directors and its consultants explored multiple options—including renovating the existing facility, rebuilding entirely on-site, constructing a new facility on different property or doing nothing at all and continuing to make costly repairs to the current building. After extensive analysis, the team collectively determined that a renovation at the current site offers the most cost-effective and least disruptive path forward, meeting operational needs while minimizing financial impact. Any final recommendation will be built around our core goal: ensuring long-term service reliability while minimizing any potential cost impact to our members.
