Keystone Blind Association purchases former furniture store building in Hermitage

HERMITAGE, PA. — The Keystone Blind Association has purchased the former Bolotin’s Furniture building on East State Street here and plans to move in when renovations are complete.

A capital-fundraising campaign for renovations and the move into the new facility, headed by former KBA board member Tresa Templeton, begins in April.

Keystone operates out of two locations in Sharon: The headquarters on Stambaugh Avenue, and the Key Building on Division Street, which houses KBA vocational services and is a public store front and manufacturing facility for the Keystone line of industrial digging and striking tools and safety helmets assembled by the Keystone team of blind, visually impaired or otherwise disabled workers.
