About this Event
Members of the local business community are invited to join EDC Lancaster County for the 2026 EDC Annual Meeting Breakfast – presented by McNees Wallace & Nurick LLC – on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, at the Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square in the heart of Downtown Lancaster.
Two years ago, at our 2024 Annual Meeting, Team PA President/CEO Abby Smith shared some of the opportunities and strategies around increasing the state’s economic competitiveness. Last year, Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development (DCED) Secretary Rick Siger dived further into how projects like GSK's $800 million investment into its East Donegal Township facilities are helping to spur growth within the local business community, create new jobs, and improve the quality of life across Lancaster County.
At the 2026 EDC Annual Meeting, we'll look to continue our exploration of how current and ongoing federal and state economic initiatives are having an impact on the local economy, as well as EDC Lancaster County's role in bringing these projects to life – from insights into the outdoor recreation economy and data center development to financing incentives for manufacturers and record-breaking lending for local farmers.
2026 speaker details TBA.
