April 09, 2026- Harrisburg, PA
Governor Josh Shapiro announced the Commonwealth has secured a $10.7 million investment from digital marketing agency WebFX to expand its operations in Harrisburg. The Commonwealth is investing $900,000 in the project, which will create 100 new tech jobs over the next three years and retain 407 existing positions.
Earlier this year, the Governor convened Harrisburg city leaders, Harrisburg's legislative delegation in the General Assembly, city and state police, and local business owners for a meeting to chart a path forward for Harrisburg's future. Now, with WebFX's purchase of the former Tracy Mansion at 1829 Front Street, Governor Shapiro is delivering on his commitment to investing in and supporting the city's success. WebFX will renovate the building for use as a training and meeting facility near its Harrisburg headquarters.
"My Administration is committed to Harrisburg's success and today's announcement shows that our Capital City is making real progress," said Governor Shapiro. "Pennsylvania is making smart, strategic investments, cutting red tape, and focusing on growing key industries like technology - creating real opportunity for businesses and workers in Harrisburg and across the entire Commonwealth."
