Bluecup Ventures LLC is asking Luzerne County Council to extend the construction deadline in its real estate tax break agreement for a Wilkes-Barre Township warehousing and distribution center.

The tax break resolution that County Council unanimously approved in March 2022 said Bluecup must commence construction at the 70-acre site within three years, and that period has lapsed.

Representing Bluecup, Attorney Mara Terrana, of Hoegen & Associates in Wilkes-Barre, told County Council this week the developer was powerless to proceed with construction due to several court appeals related to the project zoning that “took up the entire three-year span.”

Bluecup is seeking a construction extension to the end of 2027, Terrana said during the County Council work session.
