NEW YORK: A New York developer who purchased the old Silk Mill in Jim Thorpe plans to rehabilitate the 19th century multi-unit complex into an industrial center.

''I want to bring jobs to Carbon County,'' said Alexander Spivak, just before he addressed Jim Thorpe Borough Council on August 11.Spivak, of Queens, N.Y., bought the 70,000-square-foot facility off W. Fifth Street in May for an undisclosed sum.

The five buildings that make up the complex once served as a silk mill, employing hundreds before it closed in the early 1970s.
The brick complex has remained vacant since, its main, four-story facility in disrepair and covered in graffiti.
Spivak, a Russian immigrant whose family arrived in New York in the late 1980s, said he has no specific plans for the complex, but is looking to attract business to Carbon County.
''I'm open to anything, and open to hearing any ideas,'' he said.
Jim Thorpe officials were somewhat skeptical of Spivak's plans, citing the poor condition of the buildings.
''He's got his work cut out for him. He's going to have to put a lot of money into it,'' said Mayor Ronald Confer.
But Spivak rebuffed those concerns, saying the building is ''solid.''
''You don't find these kind of buildings in New York,'' he said.
Spivak said he has already spoken to the Jim Thorpe police about keeping vandals away from the property, and he hopes to excite Borough Council about his renovation plans, which he says could be completed by next summer.
''I know the buildings. I used to work there after I graduated from high school,'' Councilwoman Joanne Klitsch said. ''They've been empty for so long, it will be tough.''
Spivak said his family owns Queens Development, which builds condominium and shopping complexes throughout the New York area.
His family vacations each summer in Towamensing Trails, and it was during a drive last year with his mother in search of garage sales in Jim Thorpe when they happened upon the vacated buildings.
''I did some research and thought this could work,'' he said. ''My family thought I was nuts. I might be a little crazy.''
But Spivak said, in a region thirsty for new jobs, he feels he has the experience and financing to turn the 11-acre property into a thriving commercial zone, one where he points out he is paying full taxes.
''I don't gamble,'' he said. ''I think we can fill these buildings with jobs.''
