January 30, 2024 - Bethlehem, PA
Governor Josh Shapiro and Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) Secretary Rick Siger delivered on their promise to create the Pennsylvania Economic Development Strategy the first comprehensive plan of its kind to guide the Commonwealth's economic growth in almost 20 years. Since day one, Governor Shapiro and his Administration have been working aggressively to make Pennsylvania a leader in innovation and economic development, and create economic opportunity for all Pennsylvanians. The new ten-year strategy, announced during a visit to global life sciences manufacturing company OraSure Technologies, will capitalize on the Commonwealth's strengths and reignite our economy. "For too long, Pennsylvania's neighboring states have invested and focused on economic development while our Commonwealth has lacked a targeted game plan and serious investment," said Governor Josh Shapiro. "With this plan, for the first time in nearly two decades, Pennsylvania has a serious economic development strategy that brings together our private and public sectors, our highly skilled workers, and our world-class universities. We're ready to work together to grow our economy, create jobs, foster innovation and economic opportunity, and build vibrant communities - because when we work together, Pennsylvania Gets It Done."Speakers Include:Carrie MannerGovernor ShapiroSecretary SigerSen.
