The historic Flat Iron building in south Bethlehem has
received an $830,000 loan from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and
Economic Development program for the Alternative and Clean Energy program.
The loan will be used to build high-performance
commercial interiors in the building, which is owned by Larry Eighmy.
The renovation involves installing an energy-efficient
boiler, fifth floor renovations and adding second-floor retail space.
The renovation is expected to create an additional 3,000
square feet of office space in south Bethlehem.
The system will include occupancy sensors, daylight
harvesting controls and opaque window shades. It also will have a rooftop
garden and green roof to reduce storm-water runoff.
The building is in Bethlehem’s Keystone Innovation Zone.
Loans and grants offered through the Alternative and
Clean Energy program are used to promote the use, development and construction
of alternative and clean-energy products, infrastructure, energy efficiency and
energy conservation in the state.
The program is administered through the state’s
Commonwealth Financing Authority.
