DGS Fact Sheet-White Haven Center.pdf

This is a fact sheet prepared by the Department of General Services (DGS) on behalf of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania regarding the potential redevelopment of White Haven Center, a state-owned property located at 827 Oley Valley Road in White Haven, Pennsylvania. The Commonwealth has issued a Request for Information (RFI) Solicitation 95199 to assess market interest in the redevelopment or reuse of the approximately 182.72-acre property, which is zoned for Special Purpose Institutional Use and strategically positioned along the Interstate 80 corridor approximately 110 miles west of New York City, 96 miles north of Philadelphia, and 101 miles north of Harrisburg. The property, formerly operated under the Department of Human Services, has been closed to patient services for two years and remains vacant. The Commonwealth seeks qualified development teams capable of executing a financially sound, community-responsive, and high-quality redevelopment project. The formal due date for RFI responses was extended by two weeks to November 16, 2026, to allow time for review of the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Technical Assistance Panel (TAP) Report dated September 4, 2026.

This RFI is not a formal solicitation and will not result in the award of a contract or the sale of the property. If the Commonwealth determines to proceed with a formal disposition or development process, a separate Request for Proposal (RFP) or other formal procurement solicitation will be issued at a future date. Responding to the current RFI neither precludes nor guarantees participation in any subsequent procurement process. No pricing terms, funding amounts, or set-asides are established at this information-gathering stage.
