Workforce & Industrial Development

Nestled in northeastern Pennsylvania’s scenic Endless Mountains, Union Dale is emerging as a strategic location for businesses seeking affordable industrial space and access to key Northeast markets. Its proximity to Interstate 81 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike enables efficient distribution to major hubs like Scranton, Binghamton, and even New York City.

Industrial development in Susquehanna County, where Union Dale is located, benefits from a growing interest in logistics, light manufacturing, and warehousing. The region’s industrial parks, such as the nearby Jessup Small Business Center, offer shovel-ready sites and infrastructure tailored for modern business needs.

Pennsylvania’s robust incentive programs, including the Pennsylvania First Program and Keystone Opportunity Zones, provide financial tools to attract new investment and support expansion. The Northern Tier Regional Planning & Development Commission also serves as a key partner, offering technical assistance and workforce training to help companies tap into the local labor pool.

Workforce development is further supported by partnerships with area community colleges and workforce boards, ensuring that employers can find and train skilled workers in manufacturing, logistics, and related sectors.
