Implementation — How we Prosper

④Retain and expand existing businesses

Retain and expand existing businesses through greater coordination and outreach.

Why:

Supporting existing businesses and helping them grow builds stable economic health throughout the county. Increasing coordination and outreach to connect companies with a skilled workforce, capital, policy assistance, or other needs provides a competitive advantage for the success and expansion of businesses.

How:

This work would include support of the business retention and expansion efforts of the Chester County Economic Development Council, chambers of commerce, and other partners to facilitate the connections needed to boost local businesses, build relationships with key employers, and expand capacity to provide technical assistance and business support services.
