A proposed expansion of Rock Lititz Studio â the original building in the Rock Lititz business campus for the live-event industry â appears to be back on track, albeit in a smaller form.
The Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority on Wednesday approved a $2.0 million low-interest loan to help fund the $12.0 million addition on the 96-acre campus, a block west of Route 501 in Warwick Township.
PIDA also approved a $2.0 million loan for Messick Farm Equipmentâs relocation and expansion to Rapho Township and a $1.5 million loan for Flex-Cell Precisionâs expansion at its Lancaster city address.
The original Rock Lititz Studio is the first building in the world built specifically to house technical rehearsals of rock bands before they go on tour. âTechâ rehearsals include operating a showâs audio systems, lighting and staging.
