Governor Josh Shapiro and Department of Community and Economic Development Secretary Rick Siger visited the Philadelphia Navy Yard to highlight a $30 million investment through the PA SITES (Pennsylvania Strategic Investments to Enhance Sites) program. The funding supports the development of the Philadelphia Navy Yard Greenway District, helping to transform 54 acres into shovel-ready sites for advanced manufacturing, life sciences, and commercial use that will help grow Pennsylvania's economy, foster innovation, and create jobs. The investment in Philadelphia is part of the Governor's first round of PA SITES funding - a total of $64 million awarded to 11 strategic sites across the Commonwealth.Governor Shapiro and his Administration developed PA SITES after soliciting feedback from national site selectors who help companies decide where to relocate and grow. The Governor secured $500 million dollars for site development in his 2024-25 bipartisan budget, including $400 million for PA SITES. Earlier this week in Bedford, the Governor announced the first round of grant funding to jumpstart development throughout Pennsylvania - in Bedford, Berks, Bucks, Cumberland, Dauphin, Fayette, Franklin, Luzerne, Philadelphia, Washington, and Westmoreland counties - to attract businesses, investment, and good-paying jobs to Pennsylvania.
