and beautifying downtown districts. “Our philoso-
phy is that we want to make Pennsylvania a place
where people can work smart and live happy.”
The state has always been known for a strong
work ethic, and leaders and other stakeholders
have adopted a can-do spirit in forging partner-
ships and collaborating to reach shared goals:
building a skilled and future-focused workforce;
promoting technol-
ogy among estab-
lished industries;
supporting creative entrepreneurs; and enhanc-
ing Pennsylvania’s business climate and quality
of life.
“Pennsylvania’s economy has a ton of forward
momentum,” says Gov. Wolf. “The combination
of our prime location, world-class educational
institutions, affordable cost of living, abundant
and diverse energy portfolio, and the investments
we’re making in our communities makes Pennsyl-
vania a place where families and businesses want
to be. Those strengths help us grow our economy.
