About Chester County Economic Development

The mission of the Chester County Department of Economic Development (CCED) is to create an environment that supports existing industry expansion, encourages new industry investments, fosters entrepreneurialism, and welcomes visitation by others—all of which support the provision of public services and otherwise improves each citizen’s prosperity and overall quality of life. Unhampered by urban sprawl and traffic, yet bursting with opportunity, Chester County spans an area of 586 square miles (including six square miles of water). Our population of nearly 33,000 people understands the value of community preservation and hard work, and that business fuels our future. Executives visiting our region consistently commend our pro-business attitude and commitment to making their corporate move an easy, profitable transition. We also offer a cost of living that’s among the lowest in the U.S., and an infrastructure that supports low corporate taxes and utility rates. But what usually wins companies over is our idyllic lifestyle, blending small-town hospitality with close proximity to major metropolitan amenities.
