Business Retention & Expansion Program (BREP)

About The Program

As the regional coordinator for the Commonwealth’s Pennsylvania Business Retention and Expansion Program, SPC coordinates and facilitates the program objectives for state government to address the needs of businesses in the region.  This government-to-business outreach program helps to enhance the state’s business climate at the local level by connecting business owners with local economic development professionals. 

Through on-site meetings with business owners, we help to identify which government-related programs can best address a company’s needs.  Customer Action Plans (CAP) are then developed, providing possible solutions utilizing regional economic development resources.  The perspectives of business owners in the region are also formally collected and communicated for the development of future policies and programs.
