Pennsylvania is investing over $39 million through the PA SITES program to develop 11 shovel-ready industrial sites and boost economic competitiveness.
The grant program has allocated $113.6 million to 29 projects, transforming underused properties into commercial and industrial hubs with improved infrastructure.
By developing shovel-ready sites, Pennsylvania aims to attract business investments, stimulate construction, and create long-term job opportunities across the state.
Pennsylvania is directing over $39 million in new funding toward developing shovel-ready industrial sites across the state. On October 8, 2025, Governor Josh Shapiro announced the second round of awards for the PA SITES (Pennsylvania Strategic Investments to Enhance Sites) program, targeting 11 projects aimed at attracting business investment and stimulating economic growth in Pennsylvania.
This latest investment is part of a broader economic development strategy designed to make the Commonwealth more competitive. The Shapiro Administration has secured a total of $500 million for site development, with $400 million specifically allocated for the PA SITES program.
According to the Office of the Governor, the program has now invested $113.6 million into 29 projects, including this new round. The program aims to transform underused and undeveloped properties into viable commercial and industrial locations.
The PA SITES program was established to address a shortage of readily available sites for companies looking to expand or relocate. By funding site preparation, infrastructure improvements, and environmental remediation, and thus transforming the sites to ‘shovel-ready’, the state aims to reduce the time and cost for businesses to begin construction.
The $39 million investment targets projects in several Pennsylvania counties:
Other funded projects include:
By funding shovel-ready sites, Pennsylvania aims to capture a larger share of national and international business, possibly leading to sustained construction activity and long-term job creation.
As these projects move forward, they are expected to help generate bidding opportunities and contribute to economic growth in Pennsylvania.
