Why Lancaster Businesses Choose Basecamp

Lancaster County is one of Pennsylvania's most unique economies. Tourism driven by Amish Country attracts 11M+ visitors annually. Agriculture and food processing — from farm to table to packaged goods — are major economic drivers. The food industry cluster includes turkey processing, dairy, craft beverages, and specialty foods.

Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital anchors the healthcare sector. A growing tech sector is emerging, attracted by Lancaster's quality of life and lower costs than Philadelphia. Downtown Lancaster's arts and restaurant scene has earned national recognition.

Lancaster offers a business environment where tourism, agriculture, and healthcare create steady demand. Commercial real estate is affordable compared to the Philadelphia metro, and the growing population drives new business formation.
