“Amazon’s $20 billion investment proves what’s possible when we focus on making Pennsylvania more competitive by modernizing our permitting and regulatory processes and creating a tax environment where businesses want to invest, grow, and hire talented people. The PA Chamber is proud to count Amazon as a valued and engaged member, and we thank them for this historic investment. We commend Governor Shapiro, Senator McCormick, and Pennsylvania’s elected leaders who continue to support public policies that position our Commonwealth to compete for — and win — transformational investments like this one. This is the kind of momentum we’ve been working toward, and we’re just getting started.”
