"James Petrucci, president of the J. G. Petrucci Company, said his company was working on its second plant-to-school transformation... Mr. Petrucci's company is transforming the former National Tool factory in Mountainside into a school for children with autism and other special needs run by ARC of Union County, a nonprofit group. In 1994, J. G. Petrucci converted a former bank building it owned in Hunterdon County into a special education school."
