In the midst of the Great Recession, PBS39 undertook the single largest building project in its nearly 50 year history. Creating a state of the art public media facility in the shadows of the former Bethlehem Steel blast furnaces was a huge leap of faith, both in terms of location risk and financial risk.

Without the leveraging power of New Markets Tax Credits, this nearly $30 million transformational endeavor would never have come to fruition. And the only way that we were able to execute on this incredibly complex and structured strategy was by having the day to day, steady and experienced hand of Plymouth Soundings and Darlene Smolik with us.

I can say without hesitation that PBS39 at SteelStacks would not be here today were it not for the partnership with Plymouth Soundings.
