Governor Tom Wolf announced three new low-interest loan approvals through the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority (PIDA) that will help companies in three counties expand their operations, enhance services and improve facilities, and create and retain jobs.

Wolf. "The investments we make in businesses that power those industries will help them continue to grow, expand, and thrive into the new year and beyond."
In 2020, PIDA has approved $38,907,915 in low-interest loans that have resulted in $70,615,022 in private investment and supported 1,201 created and retained full-time jobs.
The approved projects are as follows:
