In Luzerne County, Governor Shapiro Highlights Economic Development Investments Secured in 2024-25 Budget to Turn Dirt into Jobs, Make PA More Competitive, and Attract More Businesses

Governor Josh Shapiro and Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) Secretary Rick Siger joined leaders in Luzerne County for a ceremonial bill signing of the new bipartisan budget that Governor Shapiro signed into law last week.

The 2024-25 budget delivers on the Governor's key priorities to make Pennsylvania more competitive economically - securing $500 million for site development, including $400 million for the PA SITES (Pennsylvania Strategic Investments to Enhance Sites) program, which could build on the manufacturing progress local companies are making in Northeast Pennsylvania.

"As Secretary Siger and I have traveled the Commonwealth meeting with businesses, we've heard loud and clear that more state investment is needed to develop more sites so that these companies can grow and expand their operations right here," said Governor Josh Shapiro. "Last year, our PA SITES pilot program made $10 million in grants available for developers and companies - and we secured $500 million for site development in this year's budget to build on that progress to turn more dirt into jobs, help Pennsylvania compete for more transformational economic development projects, and invest that money back into our communities."

Michael McHale, President & CEO of Production Systems Automation, Inc.
Representative Jim Haddock
Michelle Mikitish, President of the Greater Pittston Chamber of Commerce
DCED Secretary Rick Siger
Lindsay Griffin-Boylan, CEO of the Greater Wyoming Valley Chamber of Commerce
