Erie County, Where Your Business Will Thrive

Sally Guzik, from Meadville, is the new president of a consulting firm, Fourth Economy, working to reinvent Erie. 

You might not expect one of the United States’ most promising business corridors to be in a mid-sized, industrially rooted city — but that’s exactly what Erie, Pennsylvania, is.

In this Great Lakes-side city, companies find all the major-market advantages they need to grow, like revitalized infrastructure, funding resources, and local business support. And it all comes with lower operating costs, reduced competition, and stronger community connections than in major cities located just hours away.
