Abstract: Industry targeting is the process of focusing industrial development programs and efforts at specific industries or clusters of related industries. An industry targeting program identifies industries for which the region offers a competitive advantage in terms of labor availability and skills, location, and availability of public services. Lancaster County's industrial targeting project has two principal objectives: identify manufacturing industries that have high potential for locating in the county and identify manufacturing industries that provide attractive economics development impacts in terms of future job growth, wages paid, and contributions to the local tax base.
