Beacon Redevelopment Industrial Corporation Rejects an Unsolicited 5.5 Million Dollar Salvage Offer From a Salvage Contractor
NORTH HUNTINGDON, Pa., July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Beacon
Redevelopment Industrial Corporation (OTC: BCND) today announced it has
rejected a 5.5 million dollar unsolicited salvage offer for itsWestmoreland
PA property. Instead, the company will put the demolition/recyclable contract
out for bid.
The company believes that the salvageable value of the property to be in
the range of $15,000,000 to $18,000,000 million dollars and anything less than
that is unacceptable.
"I have the fullest desire to demolish and redevelop the Westmoreland
site; however I will not compromise the value of the property or its
redevelopment value for a quick gain. The dismantling and salvage sale will be
done in the best interest of the shareholders and the company," said Adam
Marek, President.
Beacon estimates that there is between 9 and 10 million recyclableChicago
bricks that have a wholesale value of 0.50 to 0.75 cents a piece. In addition,
Beacon also estimates that there is at least 40,000 tons of recyclable steel
with a value (at today's scrap steel prices of $250.00 to $300.00 per ton).
About The Property:
A group of investors built the factory in 1889, and the first glass from
the factory was sold in 1890. Historical documents indicate that the factory
was purchased because of the natural gas on the land. To this day, natural gas
wells exist on the property. It also has rail access that can be utilized once
a new complex is built.
Beacon PA recognizes the historical impact of the former Westmoreland
Glass Company factory and is investigating the feasibility of creating a
commemorative brick to collectors with a notarized certificate of
authenticity. The Westmoreland Glass Company factory is a famous facility and
its glass is the subject of two separate collector organizations. The
Westmoreland Glass Society (www.westmorelandglassclubs.org) and the National
Westmoreland Glass Collectors Club (www.westmorelandglassclub.org) members
monitor and collect Westmoreland Glass. Therefore, we believe that we should
offer such a program to collectors.
