Article Abstract:
The Clarion County Economic Development Corp. located in Pennsylvania has achieved success in its economic development efforts despite its eschewing the traditional approach of courting outside businesses into the area. The entity helped existing businesses develop and grow and this proved to be a less expensive approach as it did not have to come up with tax incentives and other marketing schemes intended for outside investors.
