In Saxton, Olin Horton championed a shell building plan that borrowed funds and grants to create a rentable industrial shell. A leather goods firm leased before completion, hiring 60 workers and prompting expansion. The scheme, emulated by Hazelton and others, helped attract new industry, boost employment, and spur local development with state loan programs backing the effort.
