WEBSITE LAUNCH: The PA SIX Website will be officially launched at 10 a.m. today via Zoom.
The PA SIX website was created to raise awareness of what it is like to Work, Live and Discover in the counties of North Central PA.
A primary use of this site will be for employers to recruit and attract new talent from outside the region to relocate for employment in our workforce region. Schools and economic development agencies will utilize discoverpasix.com to encourage current residents to remain, and to entice new families and businesses to take advantage of affordable quality education, recreation, and innovative business opportunities throughout our six-county area.
