Baby's Bedroom eyes Boorum & Pease plant revival
A vacant Oil City factory once making three ring binders may become a baby room furniture plant. Baby's Bedroom Inc plans to buy the Boorum & Pease site at 128 Spencer St and asks the city for tax breaks to move in. If approved, employment would rise from 5 to 16 with growth possible, and the firm would use about 100,000 square feet initially. The company sells products to over 200 Army PX stores and other dealers. The SIDA vote is slated for July 22 with property tax relief under consideration.
