AEDC | 2022 - 2023 ANNUAL REPORT
Allentown Economic Development Corporation has been the city’s
champion for redevelopment and manufacturing since 1979.
Based in a former Mack Trucks plant on the southside of
Allentown, AEDC continues to support local manufacturing
businesses,
entrepreneurs
and
redevelop
vacant
and/or
underutilized sites within the city.
AEDC prides itself on partnering with others to make projects
happen where there might otherwise not be a project. Our
partnerships offer value to our customers through reducing project
risk, navigating the regulatory process and assisting with funding.
Manufacturing supports the economy of the city and region, as
well as the quality of life for residents. It’s one of the reasons why
AEDC was created – to champion manufacturing in the City of
Allentown! We do this through Bridgeworks Enterprise Center,
Urban Made and Urban Sites, three core programs that allow us
to help businesses grow, receive the support they need and find a
home in Allentown.
