WIRED / Wall Street West
Wayne County is one of nine counties participating in the WIRED (Workforce Innovation and Regional Economic Development)/ Wall Street West initiative. The project’s main goal is to transform the nine-county region into the premier back-up operations location for Wall Street firms.
Wayne County’s own Sterling Business Park could ultimately benefit from this initiative. With construction anticipated to begin early 2008, Wayne County will soon be prepared to serve Wall Street’s back-up offices with a highly-skilled workforce, as well as an excellent location.
WEDCO is developing one of the best sites in the northeast – STERLING BUSINESS PARK– a 252- acre mixed use business park in the Pennsylvania I-84 Corridor. This Wayne County park sits within the fastest-growing region in the northeastern United States. It has all the affordability of a Pennsylvania location, while providing superior access to the New York, New Jersey and New England markets.
Sterling Business Park offers the “must have” qualities of a business park – superb highway access, lower costs, and a growing labor pool – all wrapped up in a uniquely rural setting. Capturing and maintaining this rural character is part of our design and the natural beauty of our wooded areas and mountain stream provides an excellent canvas for companies wanting a campus-like feel.

As Wayne County’s lead economic development organization, WEDCO provides necessary services to businesses that want to relocate or expand in our communities. We also support businesses that are here, helping them improve productivity and prosperity and foster the economic growth of our County.

January 2008 - WEDCO’s focus continues to be on obtaining the permits necessary to break ground at Sterling Business Park. In Dec. 07, the PA Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) approved our NPDES Part 1 permit, setting the effluent levels from our proposed wastewater treatment plant. The application for our NPDES Part II – design of the treatment plant – has been submitted and is undergoing technical review. Concurrently, we are working with PENNDOT on our Highway Occupancy Permit. Travelers along Route 191 and Moon Road will see areas where trees have been cleared; this was required by PENNDOT to improve the line of sight. We fully expect Phase 1 construction to begin this Spring, which will open 73 saleable acres.
