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.
