Penn State’s DuBois campus will house a new manufacturing innovation hub, which matters for regional plants and suppliers that may use the research, training, or testing space. The excerpt does not say what specific manufacturing work the hub will focus on, which local employers will use it, or how the branch campus closures will affect the labor pipeline.

The piece is about PRT's board decision on the Wabash Tunnel and a union contract, so it is a labor and transit operations story rather than a plant-level manufacturing item.
