PIDA provides capital for building acquisition, construction and renovation work, primarily for manufacturers, industrial developers, research and development firms, agricultural processors and employers looking to establish national or regional headquarters in Pennsylvania.
“With unemployment at the lowest it’s been since the recession and our economy on the comeback, Pennsylvania’s businesses have the confidence to invest in new growth,” Gov. Tom Corbett said. “Our support of that growth is resulting in new jobs for Pennsylvanians and the opportunity to live well and invest in the future.”
