In Northumberland County, Governor Shapiro Announces $5.7 Million Investment to Build New Pad-Ready Site, Boost Pennsylvania's Economic Competitiveness
Governor Josh Shapiro joined DRIVE Industry, Focus Central Pennsylvania, and local leaders to announce a $5.7 million investment into the development of a new pad-ready site to help attract businesses to Northumberland County, through the Pennsylvania Strategic Investments to Enhance Sites (PA SITES) program.
DRIVE Industry, a local economic development entity serving Columbia, Montour, Northumberland, Snyder, and Union counties in Central Pennsylvania, will use funding from the Shapiro Administration for construction, engineering, and administrative costs to support the development of more than 100 acres for the Point Township Industrial Site.
"From day one, I've worked hard to make Pennsylvania a national leader on economic development, to attract new businesses, create jobs, and expand economic opportunity not just in our cities - but in our rural and suburban communities, as well. Developing this new site is the next step in growing this region's economy and ensuring more Pennsylvanians are given real opportunities to chart their own course," said Governor Shapiro. "Pennsylvania is on the rise - we're going to continue driving out these dollars and turning dirt into jobs and economic opportunity."
