The LVEDC's mission is "to create and to stimulate a local economy which provides gainful employment and business investment opportunities not only for the current generation but for generations to come."
The LVEDC has played a significant role in keeping the local economy strong in the last few years, in spite of the closings of several local businesses. The LVEDC has assisted Bayer Corporation, Schott Pharmaceutical Packaging and General Mills with their expansion efforts, has continued to market Lebanon County to outside investors and new companies and has provided incentives to companies looking to relocate or expand in Lebanon County.
Successes include the recruitment of major companies, such as Elk Manufacturing, Ingram Micro and Voigt & Schweitzer. Hawk Acres Enterprise Place is a 120 acre subdividable park adjacent to the Lebanon Valley Business Park, and is ready with full utility services. All of this and other activities of the Corporation will make the Lebanon Valley an even more attractive environment for new business expansions.
