York County Economic Alliance

On Oct 25, 2016, Kenetha Hansen representing the York County Economic Alliance Business Development Services, spoke to York East Rotarians at their weekly breakfast meeting at Heritage Hills.    She explained that the Alliance connects businesses to each other.   It also provides resources and information to businesses in York County that will help to assure their long-term growth and sustainability, thereby keeping jobs in our community.  Their goal of creating 5,000 new jobs between 2013 and 2017 with $500 million investment, has already  been exceeded.  Individualized business outreach meetings are conducted by the Alliance at local businesses to help plan for workforce development, financing, marketing, expansion, workflow, site selection, and infrastructure.  As an advocate for businesses and the community, the Alliance ‘s goal is to ensure an economically growing and prosperous York County.
