SteelStacks, an arts center being developed near Bethlehem new casino, will hire 100 people before its opening in 2011, reports Nicole Radzievich of the Allentown Morning Call.
ArtsQuest, a nonprofit, runs Christkindlmarkt, the Banana Factory and Musikfest-- a 10-day festival that depends a great deal on its volunteers -- and is developing the 65,000-square-foot ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks, which is scheduled to open in May 2011. PBS-39, WLVT-TV is developing a broadcast center there as well.
ArtsQuest expects to fill 30-35 positions during the next 14 months, which would double the size of its staff, spokeswoman Kassie Hilgert said. The balance of the 100 new positions will be with the group that will provide food service at the center. ArtsQuest also estimates providing 168 jobs during construction.
