The Chamber would like to thank the following sponsors:

   
When it’s time to relocate, what matters is truly location, location, location. York County, with its convenient location in South Central Pennsylvania, offers a tempting packaging for companies—and residents—looking to relocate. Its many attributes present York County as an attractive locale with a strong economy, affordable living, picturesque surroundings and a skilled workforce. With all this, it’s easy to understand why we’re the third largest county for manufacturing in Pennsylvania.

    (Route 30, Interstate 83, Interstate 95 and Interstate 76)

The Smart Market
live smart, work smart
South Central Team Pennsylvania, Inc. (SCTPA) recently unveiled a new regional brand including a brand name, logo and positioning statement designed to enhance the economic vitality of the eight-county region. The counties that make up the Smart Market are Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry and York.

The new name and logo express the opportunities and positive attributes unique to the region, including its diverse industry, talent, knowledge-based workforce, top-ranked educational institutions, rich heritage, innovative spirit, proximity as a gateway to some of the nation’s largest cities, and the abundant outdoor, sport, tourist and recreational attractions.

"Companies look at regions for the attributes they offer, such as workforce, transportation systems, utilities, services, recreation and culture,” stated Tom Donley, York County Chamber President. “By branding our region, we are conforming to the way companies think about local economics.”
