BETHLEHEM TOWNSHIP, Pa. – Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro will return to the Lehigh Valley on Tuesday to unveil a new economic development strategy, his office said.
Shapiro will visit OraSure Technologies' facility off Brodhead Road to unveil plans for the statewide strategy — which his administration says is the first in nearly two decades.
According to an advisory from Shapiro's office, the 10-year strategy will serve as a roadmap to capitalize on the commonwealth’s strengths and “reignite" the economy.
Shapiro will be joined by Department of Community and Economic Development Secretary Rick Siger, along with other local dignitaries, including Don Cunningham, president and CEO of Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corp., and state Sen. Lisa Boscola, D-Lehigh/Northampton.
Shapiro also joined President Joe Biden in the Lehigh Valley earlier this month, touring small businesses in Emmaus and promoting economic initiatives.
