“I applaud Governor Shapiro and his team for proposing a comprehensive economic development plan to help propel Pennsylvania forward into a future of innovation, growth, and prosperity. I look forward to working with the administration, my colleagues in the General Assembly, and both public and private stakeholders to ensure that everyone and every community benefits from this vision and commitment to the future of our Commonwealth.
