AFS Corporate Member Boose Aluminum Foundry (Reamstown, Pennsylvania) has received a land development plan waiver to rebuild its facilities after a devastating fire on April 19, 2022. Local township supervisors have approved the company’s proposed new 1,490-sq.-ft. structure to replace 11,740 sq. ft. of a destroyed building.

The remaining 10,250 sq. ft will be converted to gravel and an existing 250-sq.-ft. concrete pad will be removed and reverted to grass. The finished project reduces the amount of impervious surfaces—which impact stormwater runoff—by 
6,177 sq. ft.

Nick Ferelli of McCarthy Engineering of Wyomissing, said at a township meeting the foundry is eager to “begin the build-back process and get the foundry back at its full operating capacity.”
