Announcements

Movin' On Up!

The Dauphin County Economic Development Office has moved.  On Monday, Commissioners' Haste, DiFrancesco and Hartwick announced that the department office would relocate to the 7th Floor of the Veterans Building, located at 112 Market Street in Harrisburg.  The office's former home was 2 S. 2nd Street, 2nd Floor.  For those of you who are unaware of the services provided by this office, DCED can provide information about facilities, building sites, infrastructure, financing, tax incentives, demographics, and tourism.  The DCED also administers low-interest financial assistance to businesses and economic development projects along with the Affordable Housing Program and the First Time Home Buyers Program.  For more information about the DCED and these programs, visit their website at www.dauphincounty.org.

Also, a great big thank you to all those involved in planning the Commissioners' Inaugural Dinner hosted last Friday evening.  A great time was had by all, including the DID staff!  Congratulations, again, to our Dauphin County Commissioners!

Seasons of Wildwood

If you have ever strolled behind Harrisburg Area Community College off Cameron Street, you've noticed the beautiful Wildwood Park.  Wildwood Park has an extraordinary nature center that offers a wide variety of resources for children and adults, alike.  From December of 2006 through November of 2007 several local photographers have captured the parks beauty and more recently their work has been displayed at the Benjamin Olewine III Nature Center.  This photo exhibit will run until January 13th.  So stop by and visit the Nature Center, Tuesday through Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm.  This is event is free!  For more information on this event and on the nature center, visit their website at www.wildwoodlake.org.
