JOHNSTOWN, PA – The Johnstown Redevelopment Authority announced today that an agreement has been reached between the Authority and Pipelines Inc. of East Liverpool, Ohio for the company to open a Johnstown based location. Their new location will be at 106 Iron Street. Pipelines Inc. is a waterworks supply distribution company that stocks a variety of water, sewer, sanitary, and storm pipe, along with fittings and accessories such as valves, fire hydrants, service brass, and tap saddles. For over 25 years Pipelines Inc. has provided competitive pricing and outstanding customer service and can conform to project specifications as well as represent a wide variety of vendors and manufacturers that are considered the best in the industry.

“We have been working with Pipelines Inc since the beginning of 2017 and we were able to address their requirements for a location in Johnstown as well as our needs as the Authority. The 116 Iron Street site is a perfect location for them to open their second Pennsylvania location” JRA Executive Director Melissa Komar stated. The agreement with Pipelines is for 5 years with an option to extended (4) additional 5 years terms, or a total potential contract length of 25 years. “To have a company this willing to set up their business in Johnstown for 5 years, with the potential to extend as long as 25 years is a true testament to the value of our area. It shows the type of work ethic Pipelines Inc has, and shows that the Authority is willing to work with these companies that want to be a part of the Johnstown business community Komar stated. The new location is expected to open within a month. Pipelines Inc will open with 10 employees and has the opportunity to expand in the future. Monsignor Balta is very supportive of this new opportunity for our area and is hopeful for expansion. He is also pleased that the authority is able to provide positive assets.
