Halfway between New York City and Chicago on transcontinental Interstate 80 (with six interchanges, plus north-south I-79 immediately to the west), and with a local airport that can accommodate business jets, Clarion County gives businesses rapid and affordable access to materials, suppliers, and markets.

For generations, Clarion County’s residents have made manufacturing facilities productive. They have operated farms and harvested the region’s abundant woodlands. Growing up in an atmosphere that expects, and respects hard work has established in the locals a work ethic that’s second to none.
