Not per the record. Per Pennsylvania DEP (Mar 30, 2026), it is proposed: filed, with no approval yet. The sources disagree: Server Country reports cancelled. ### Who is building Project Hazelnut? NorthPoint Development (NP Hazleton Holdings 1 LLC) is the operator. No public record names the general contractor yet. It shows here the day one does. ### When is Project Hazelnut expected to finish? Server Country reports expected completion in Aug 2030. That is a reported target, not a schedule. ### Which carriers serve Project Hazelnut? No public record names them yet. They show here when a filing does. ### How do contractors on Project Hazelnut get paid sooner? The owner pays the general contractor, and the general contractor pays its subcontractors. Once your customer approves your invoice, certify it with Kapwork. Funders compete to fund it, so you don't wait for the payment date. Free for businesses. Kapwork doesn't lend and doesn't contact your customer. ## Latest updates - [Expected completion reported](https://servercountry.org/data/projects/).
