Active Adult
The retirement industry in north central Pennsylvania is growing rapidly due to the lower cost of housing, access to quality healthcare services, low crime rate and lower taxes. In Huntingdon County, we find that many retirees come here due to our close proximity to State College - home of Penn State University - and larger cities like Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Washington, D.C. The growth in retirement living in Huntingdon County offers business owners an opportunity to prosper here. This web site has information on the retirement industry in Huntingdon County and offers ideas on business opportunities here.
