Cambria County Small Business Startup Project

In 2014, representatives from Geistown Borough approached the Cambria County Commissioners to discuss how they could assist in the success of local development from national and international opportunities. That simple discussion lead to the creation of a committee of experts, local government leaders, economic development specialists, educators, and business owners. This group studied the issues and identified areas to improve in order to make doing business here easier.

This data was created for the original project in 2015 and was previously housed as part of the Economic Development Group responsible for the Foreign Trade Zone. Eagles Ridge is proud to give this information a home after the defunding of the Economic Development project. It represents hundreds of hours of work by forward thinking professionals, educators, and government leaders.
