Governor Josh Shapiro and DCED Secretary Rick Siger visited Dillsburg's Joseph Machine Company to announce a major investment aimed at boosting Pennsylvania's manufacturing sector. This investment is part of the state's Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP), designed to strengthen local businesses and create jobs. The announcement follows Shapiro's earlier pledge in November to invest nearly $600 million in over 400 projects across the state to drive economic growth and job creation.

Joining Shapiro and Siger were key local figures, including Kevin Schreiber from the York County Economic Alliance and Joseph Machine Company's CEO Anthony Pigliacampo and Director of Sales & Marketing Tom Vajdic. At the company's headquarters, they highlighted the expected benefits of the investment. The announcement was also streamed live for residents to watch on pacast.com/live/gov and governor.pa.gov/live/ as per the Pennsylvania Government Website.

Set for Wednesday, November 13, at 10:15 AM, the gathering at 595 Range End Road in Dillsburg served as not just a photo opportunity, but a tangible testament to the Shapiro administration's commitment to reinvigorating the state’s manufacturing landscape. While the specifics of the investment were not immediately detailed, the thrust was clear: bolstering the capabilities of a home-grown company like Joseph Machine Co. meant more than just an increase in production.

The Joseph Machine Company, a Pennsylvania-based business, is set for growth with support from the state. This investment will help expand the company and create jobs, boosting the local economy. During the event, Governor Shapiro and his team outlined a vision for Pennsylvania to thrive through innovation and industry, aiming to strengthen the state's manufacturing sector.
