Business leaders brainstorm ways to grow Mercer County
GROVE CITY, Pa. (WKBN) – An economic summit with business leaders took place in Mercer County Thursday morning.
The event is held every year by the Penn-Northwest Development Corporation.
Speakers are discussing housing, education, manufacturing and healthcare, hoping to find ways to improve and grow.
It's also a place for valuable discussions and networking opportunities.
'We're doing a really good job of marketing Mercer County as a great place to live, for people to move to — between remote work, our close proximity to Pittsburgh and the Mahoning Valley, Cleveland area. There's just no reason not to be here,' said Mercer County Commissioner Bill Finley.
The keynote address was from Secretary Rick Siger from the Department of Community and Economic Development.
All proceeds from this summit will benefit Penn-Northwest's Homegrown Initiative.
