Description
The Pennsylvania Strategic Investments to Enhance Sites Program (PA SITES) is designed to make Pennsylvania more competitive for business relocation and expansion by supporting the development and redevelopment of business-ready sites.

Funding aims to reduce development risk and offset unknown costs, thereby accelerating timelines for business investment in the state.
