Workforce & Industrial Development

Located just east of Williamsport in north-central Pennsylvania, Loyalsock Township is gaining attention as a strategic site for industrial and logistics development in the Susquehanna Valley. With direct access to U.S. Route 220, I-180, and proximity to the Williamsport Regional Airport, the township offers strong transportation links for manufacturers and distributors serving the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast markets.

Recent years have seen increased investment in industrial parks and flex space, as local and regional developers respond to demand for modern warehousing, light manufacturing, and distribution centers. The Greater Williamsport Area’s industrial vacancy rates remain low, and shovel-ready parcels in Loyalsock Township are attracting both regional businesses and national firms seeking cost-effective expansion opportunities.

Workforce development is a regional strength, with Pennsylvania College of Technology and local workforce boards providing tailored training programs in manufacturing, logistics, and skilled trades. Loyalsock Township partners with the Williamsport/Lycoming Chamber of Commerce and the Central Pennsylvania Workforce Development Corporation to connect employers with talent and upskilling resources.

Incentive programs from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, such as the Pennsylvania First Program and the Keystone Opportunity Zone (KOZ), are available to qualifying businesses. Lycoming County also offers site-specific incentives and infrastructure support to help streamline the development process.
