Penn's Northeast (PNE) is Northeastern Pennsylvania's regional nonprofit economic development agency, dedicated to attracting quality employers to our region.
Created by a coalition of private business leaders, utility companies, local economic development organizations, Chambers of Commerce, and governments to promote Northeastern Pennsylvania's collective assets, Penn's Northeast facilitates the creation and retention of quality jobs by marketing Northeastern Pennsylvania to the world, and by providing site selection and incentive financing assistance to businesses, real estate brokers, developers, and site selection consultants.
The organization serves as a single regional point of contact for businesses looking to relocate to or expand within Northeastern Pennsylvania, functioning as a liaison between local development partners, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and businesses seeking new facilities.
PNE was created to perform a specific set of responsibilities - collaborative external marketing and site selection assistance - on behalf of its member organizations. Penn's Northeast was created with the knowledge that Northeastern Pennsylvania is a large and varied region. Consequently, the organization works hard to be responsive to its diversity of strengths, to its geography, and to its stakeholders.
