Franklin County is located in the heart of south central Pennsylvania.
One of Franklin County's greatest assets is its proximity to substantial and growing industrial and consumer markets. Franklin County is situated within one day's drive of more than 50% of the U.S. population.
Franklin County still has room to grow! There are several industrial/business parks throughout the County encompassing over 1,000 acres of developable land, all of which are conveniently located to major transportation corridors and public utilities. Portions of the Cumberland Valley Business Park are designated as a Keystone Opportunity Zone, offering abatement of all local real estate taxes and certain state taxes. Furthermore, portions of Franklin County are situated within Foreign Trade Zone 147 making it an ideal location to grow and expand businesses into international markets.
