CHARLEROI, Pa. — Looks like the shuttered Charleroi glass plant may have new life. Reports say a company is in the process of buying the former Corelle Brands Glass Plant, with plans to reopen it as an industrial glass facility by the end of the year. “Everybody said, ‘Oh, it’s dead now. Charleroi’s dead. They lost Corelle, they’re dead.’ Well, guess what…we are still alive,” said Mayor of Charleroi, Gregg Doerfler. “That’s all we’ve ever been known for is glass. So for it to continue, even though it’s not Pyrex or whatever, to know it’s still a glass factory is an amazing thing.” According to our news partners at Channel-11, sources said the new owners plan on investing 10’s of millions of dollars into renovating the plant. The news comes just over three months after the plant closed its doors after 132 years, leaving hundreds out of work. Daniele Byrne, the vice president of Local Union 53G, said she’s still waiting for details on the potential sale. “We took our little severance that we got, but…nobody has contacted anybody from the union,” said Byrne. “I talked to the president today, and she said no one contacted her either about the plant opening up.” Byrne and her husband both lost their jobs due to the closing. She said the plant workers were like family and that she would go back in a heartbeat. “If they called me tomorrow, I would go back,” said Byrne. Sources tell Channel 11 they are currently doing soil and environmental checks at the plant and will be looking to rehire over 250 workers soon.
