The Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority (PIDA) recently approved four new low-interest loans for projects in three counties.

“Now, more than ever, our business owners and developers need to be equipped with all available resources to grow their companies, create jobs, and stimulate the local economy,” said Gov. Tom Wolf. “The investments made today will help Pennsylvania businesses bounce back from this unprecedented global pandemic, put people back to work, and develop buildings and land parcels for productive use.”
