Chester County, Pennsylvania Economic Profile
County Seat: 2 North High Street, Box 2748 West Chester, PA 19380
County Homepage: www.chesco.org
Few places feature the scenic suburban setting as well as Chester County. Yet what makes the county most unique is its ability to combine this small-town feel with a high-tech metropolis. Horse races and fox hunting, covered bridges and old farmhouses, lake fishing and agriculture are all aspects of life for Chester County's 474,000 residents. Yet amid this quiet countryside is also a thriving economic marketplace. National and international companies are headquartered up and down Route 202, the region's "High-Tech Corridor." By blending countryside and commerce, Chester County has perfected the art of balance.
