LIVE THE

Carlisle Area Experience

A

s its history speaks through the many colonial- and Civil War-era buildings in Carlisle, living in this more than 270-yearold small town is an experience.

From its small-town feel as you walk through the square, to its big city appeal with the diversity of shops and businesses you’ll find on said streets. Carlisle has its own experience. Named on the list of Top 100 Best Small Towns in 2015 from Livability.com, Carlisle has strong public participation and strong sense of community, as well as involvement in civic affairs. As noted in their article, the historic environment is livable and vibrant: “As redevelopment in one part of town continues, Carlisle retains its enviable status as one of the country’s loveliest, most livable small towns, graced with a historic downtown full of 18-century buildings and the stories that go with them. Among its other amenities are great shopping and a vibrant cultural and social scene enriched by international residents who come to the Army War College, the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet, Dickinson College, or the

Penn State Dickinson School of Law, all headquartered here.”

With such a rich military history and an involved community in the Carlisle area, we have also been voted one of the best towns for retiring veterans. In 2021, MoneyInc.com ranked Carlisle as #12 of the Best Places for Retired Military to Live in the country.

“Cumberland County has rich ties to the military community. Its military connections come by way of the Carlisle Barracks, the home of one of the oldest and most respected military educational institutions in the country. A VA medical center is an easy 30 minutes’ drive away.

The cost of living is attractively low, and further bolstered by Pennsylvania’s tax exemption for federal pensions.” Not surprisingly, Harrisburg Magazine featured Carlisle in their hometown section as “Walkable, hospitable, and oh so livable…”

Carlisle boasts a rich history, a vibrant and growing business community, as well as a diverse and engaged residential area. We know once you live the Carlisle Experience you won’t want to leave.

Educating THE

Next Generation

E

ducating the future of America is no easy task; however, we have great school districts and higher education campuses in the Carlisle area that succeed at that. The goal of preparing students to be leaders in our county is seen every day with local universities, colleges, and

18

public and private schools. All area schools have excellent tools in place to help children and adult learners excel. The Carlisle Area Chamber is working with our member school districts to create a bridge between the business community and the students to create a more robust future workforce. The Chamber’s Business in Education program matches students with business community industries, as well as business community leaders.

In the Business in Education program, the Carlisle Area Chamber of Commerce, acts as a bridge between our educational institutions including higher education, local school districts and our Chamber members. There is a shared focus to prepare students with meaningful job experiences and opportunities, job exploration and internships with local businesses as well as a seamless transition into certification programs.

Through the Chamber’s partnerships,

there is a shared vision through these collaborations. Our goal is to provide support and guidance to students, educators and businesses, while enhancing the experience for all involved.

The far reach of the area’s colleges and universities, affords students liberal arts degrees as well as more focused degrees such as science degrees in robotics. As you read in the Business, Industry and Transportation section in this community profile, you learn that Cumberland County is the fastest growing county in Pennsylvania.

And what better way to highlight how fast our county is growing with highlighting our member schools and institutions of higher education. The following is a list of member districts, schools, college and universities.

Estate

n November 2022, Cumberland County home prices were up 22.4% compared to November of 2021, selling for a median price of $300,000. On average, homes in Cumberland County sell after 18 days on the market compared to 18 days in 2021. There were 349 homes sold in November this year, an increase from 259 in 2021. As of November 2022, 264 homes were actively listed in Cumberland County.

Residential Real Estate

The housing market in the Greater Carlisle Area remains strong.

Inventory, however, remains somewhat low and prices have

been appreciating at above historic levels. Several new residential developments, particularly in North and South Middleton Townships, may take some of the pressure off that has been associated with multiple and competing offers on resale inventory.

Commercial Real Estate

Commercial growth within the Carlisle sub-market continues to grow as development pushes westward within Cumberland County.

A balanced supply of commercial retail and business space can be found both downtown and in outlying retail centers. Professional office

space absorption is consistent with Central Pennsylvania rates with prices being somewhat lower in the sub-market.

Real Estate Market Outlook

Historically, Central Pennsylvania, to include the Greater Carlisle Area, has enjoyed a very stable real estate market. A sound economy and a growing population benefit from the “conservative” nature of the region – with supply and demand generally being in balance and not typically subject to great “swings” seen in some of the country’s more metropolitan areas.

Health AND

Fitness Matters

T

he Central Pennsylvania area is fortunate to have three great health systems within the region. UPMC, WellSpan, and Penn State Health are the three major health care systems. Within the Carlisle area our main hospital is UPMC Carlisle. UPMC is headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA and has spread its reach throughout Pennsylvania. WellSpan Health is headquartered in Chambersburg, PA and has a few urgent care facilities within the Carlisle area. Penn State Health is headquartered in Hershey, PA. Penn State Health has a few urgent care facilities, as well as specialized care facilities that are found within their network.

In downtown Carlisle, health care options do exist as well. One may go to the more than 100-year-old Sadler Health Center on North Hanover Street. Sadler Health treats those that may not necessarily have health insurance. They can assist people not only with medical, dental, and mental health needs, but also with obtaining health care coverage through various programs associated with the center. This is an excellent resource for many residents in the local area that need medical attention.

The Carlisle area is equipped with some of the best orthopedic doctors in the region, as well as physical therapy options. The Orthopedic Institute of Pennsylvania’s new 40,000 sq ft state-of-the-art facility now offers a “Walk-In” clinic. Other physical therapy options include Phoenix Rehabilitation and Health Services on the Harrisburg Pike, as well as Cardin Miller Physical Therapy on East Pomfret Street.

So, what can you do in Carlisle to help propagate a healthy, fitness lifestyle? There are several choices within the area that include dentists, chiropractors, spas, specialty fitness programs, gym memberships, health

coaches, and yoga studios. Because as studies will show, incorporating healthy lifestyle habits help to prevent major hospital stays and will improve the quality of your life.

Business, Industry,

AND Commerce

T

he Cumberland Valley’s unique regional position makes it an ideal and valuable location to connect businesses, suppliers, and customers with access to some of the most crucial highway systems in the eastern United States. Cumberland Valley boasts the only setting that brings together Interstates 81, 83, 76 and US 11/15, all major routes of transportation of goods.

Major employers in government, healthcare, retail, transportation, and warehousing industries

appreciate the value of this location, bringing business and jobs to the region. The top five industries in the Carlisle area include: Education Services and Health Care; Retail; Arts & Entertainment and Recreation; Professional, Scientific Management, Waste Management; and Transportation and Warehousing and Utilities.

Thanks to this, the county’s unemployment rate is consistently one of the lowest in the state. In 4 quarter 2022, the county’s unemployment rate was 2.4%, while the statewide unemployment rate was 4%.

Building Business in Cumberland County The Carlisle Area Chamber of Commerce works diligently with our partners, the Cumberland Area Economic Development Corporation (CAEDC) and the Shippensburg Small Business Development Center (SBDC) to aid entrepreneurs in making their dreams a reality. CAEDC is an economic development agency tasked with promoting Cumberland Valley’s economic development and accelerating business relocation, growth, and innovation. They work with Enterprise zones, foreign trade zones, Keystone Innovation Zones, and SBA Historically Underutilized Business Zones. The Shippensburg SBDC works with entrepreneurs to flush out business plans and works with them one-on-one to help them put down on paper what is essentially in their head 32

and what was once a dream. The Shippensburg SBDC works with aspiring business owners free of charge and in many cases provides different seminars that will help business owners get their footing.

This is often where the Chamber and the SBDC work well together. The Carlisle Area Chamber offers several educational opportunities for business owners, as well as people in all levels of business to help enhance growth in our members’ businesses. This is just another example of how the Chamber and its community partners work together to be catalysts for growth in Cumberland County and the Carlisle area.

Carlisle is the Northeast Corridor Hub

It is often said that Carlisle is the Northeast Corridor hub for transportation and supply chain. As mentioned above, the strategic location of Carlisle makes it ideal for transportation, logistic companies, and warehouses. This explains the exponential growth in this industry within the past 5 years in Carlisle. To point, FedEx recently constructed a brand-new distribution facility on Allen Road in Carlisle.

Utilizing the major highway systems, it is only a 2–3hour drive to most cities on the Northeast corridor, including New York City, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, and Pittsburgh. The region is also within a 10-hour drive of over 50% of the US population.

Shopping, Dining, AND Recreation

L

ooking to buy something unique, Carlisle has a retail store for that. Walking down the historic sidewalks of Carlisle, one can take in the different sights and sounds, as well as find great little gifts for themselves or for others in the various retail storefronts that line the Downtown’s streets, as well as in the surrounding area. If you’re in the market for artistic treasures, you’ll want to venture to Goldcrafter’s Corner, Village Artisans Gallery, Carlisle Arts Learning Center, and Pat Craig Studios. You can find great local artist finds at all of these places. Feeling artistic yourself? Then, stop on by Create-A-Palooza to create your own artistic ceramic masterpiece.

From artistic retailers to unique clothing stores such as the greatest gift, C-Luv Thrift, and then to other specialty stores like Marjorie’s Gems, Olde Susquehanna House, Knisely’s Pet & Farm Center, the Kitchen Shoppe, and many others.

And don’t forget about the specialty chocolate shops you’ll find in town. You can get homemade swiss chocolate confections over at Mummert Chocolates. Or you can travel to Belgium at Exquisite Chocolates of Carlisle and sample chocolate from the oldest purveyors of it. And don’t forget about Carlisle’s thriving wine community. Yes, you heard that right. We have several wineries

in the area, and you would be remised if you didn’t visit their shops: Castlerigg Wineshop, Hatcreek Winery, and the Longshot Farm Winery.

Dining Out and About

Perhaps you’re shopping in the morning and would like to find some tasty morning treats. Luckily for you, Carlisle has a number of breakfast places that’ll help you break your fast. One could go to The Sunrise Café on N. Hanover Street to try out their New York Inspired cuisine.

With bagels shipped in from the Big Apple, it’s no wonder that this café is hopping in the morning. Bagels not your thing? No problem. Then, maybe you should try Helena’s Chocolate Café & Creperie. Choose from both their savory and sweet crepes for a new treat to your palette. One mainstay on Carlisle’s breakfast scene is Kimberly’s Café.

Kimberly’s features unique and traditional breakfast and lunch meals to help fuel you for your morning. With an eclectic collection of different cuisines, Carlisle has what you’re looking for to eat: from Egyptian fare at King Tut I, to a European twist at Cafe Bruge, all the while taking the Passage to India for your Indian cuisine fix, as well as American classics done to perfection at Sage Cafe. While you’re in town, you can also pop by Denim to pick up the latest of their locally roasted coffee.

Looking for other tasty destinations while out and about in Carlisle? If you’re on the outskirts of town, you can’t go wrong with the Momma Spriggs Restaurant, Desperate Times Brewery, May’s Restaurant, or Hickory Ridge Restaurant. However, if you’re trekking on the streets of downtown there are several great dining options available to you. For more than 27 years, Market Cross Pub & Brewery has been a main staple in the average Carlisle resident’s diet. Or you can

venture to Carlisle’s first distillery since prohibition at Hook & Flask Still Works just a block away. Maybe you’ve got a hankering for delicious slow smoked bbq meat. Then, Redd’s Smokehouse is a choice destination. Traveling on High Street, you’ll want to stop by Molly Pitcher’s Brewery and sample their unique cuisine and custom brews. Pop by the Award-Winning Grand Illusion Hard Cider House and sample a flight of their locally made ciders along with their magical ambience and delicious menu. You can also reserve your spot to experience their new escape room. If you’re heading south out of town, don’t miss out on dining at the 1794 The Whiskey Rebellion and enjoying locally sourced fare.

For an upscale dining experience, we encourage you to visit One13 Social on W. High Street. Their world-inspired cuisine alongside their newly renovated digs makes this venue a must-visit at least once when you’re in Carlisle.

Cap your evening off with delicious desserts at Leo’s Homemade Ice Cream, Bruster’s Ice Cream, Dough & Arrows Homemade Ice Cream, or Playa Bowls Carlisle.

It’s time to play

Recreation is something not lost to those in Carlisle for sure. Not only do we have beautiful parks, hiking trails, access to the Appalachian Trail, fishing for both the fly and traditional angler; but we also have different activities that families can do and have a great time doing it. Looking for some laser tag or perhaps some miniature golf or gocart racing? Head on over to the Sports Emporium off the Harrisburg Pike. Interested in bowling or a great outdoor

game area? Check out Midway Bowl on Holly Pike. If bowling isn’t your game, not a problem, since the location also has axe throwing, outside bocce ball, volleyball, and more. The Fraxture Factory and Rage Room is a great way to unleash that pent up frustration by sledgehammering a car, breaking glass, or throwing an axe, you’ll be sure to leave with less burden.

If golf is more of your game, you can’t go wrong with some of our area’s golf courses such as Cumberland Golf Course, Carlisle Barracks’ Course, Armitage Golf Course and the Carlisle Country Club Golf Course. Other different shows or events can be found at the Carlisle Expo Center.

Be sure to check their schedule to see what exhibits may be in town. And in the spring through the fall, you can find a car enthusiasts dream at the Carlisle Events Fairgrounds. With several major national car shows, the fairgrounds bring in so many different shows that are a great way for a family to spend a day or weekend at.

Army Heritage Trail at USAHEC combines a living history experience with outdoor recreation. The trail covers approximately one mile and highlights nearly every era of Army history with 14 individual full-scale exhibits and multiple smaller exhibits and artifacts throughout.

STATE PARKS

The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) oversees the commonwealth’s 120 state parks, manages the 2.2 million acres of state forest land, provides information on the state’s ecological and geologic resources and establishes community conservation partnerships to benefit rivers, trails, greenways, local parks and recreation, regional heritage parks, open space and natural areas.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY Pine Grove Furnace State Park is 696 natural and historical acres at the northern tip of the Blue Ridge Mountains in an area known as South

Mountain, surrounded by Micheaux State Forest. The Appalachian Trail and Rail Trail pass through the park.

Park Highlights: swimming and fishing at Laurel and Fuller Lakes, hunting, hiking, biking, visiting the Appalachian Trail Museum, camping, picnicking, and skiing.

Kings Gap Environmental Education Center provides a wide variety of activity-oriented programs for students, teachers, adult groups and individuals and is one of several state parks specifically dedicated to provide environmental education and programs to visitors. It consists of 2,531 acres of forest on South Mountain, with more than 18 miles of hiking trails, a permanent orienteering course, picnicking, hunting and other recreational and educational opportunities.

Finance, Financial

Advisors, AND Insurance

I

t can be hard to find a financial institution you can trust. Fortunately for Carlisle residents, there are many financial institutions in our area.

From large national banks to smaller locally owned banks, as well as credit unions, Carlisle has a variety of financial organizations. So, what are the differences?

Nationally and regionally identified banks are just that, nationally or regionally known and rooted in our community. The benefits of these financial institutions are that they have multiple locations and can be transferred from state to state should the need arise. Other benefits of these organizations are some of the programs that they offer to area residents that they may not always qualify for at other banks. The locally owned banks are based in our community and offer many different programs. By being based in our community, these institutions have close ties to ensure that our business community and residents are able to get the financing they need so that our area continues to grow.

Our area also has a number of federal credit unions, as well as community credit unions. What’s the difference you ask? The federal credit union is insured by National Credit Union Shared Insurance Fund. Community credit unions are insured by private insurers. Eligibility requirements are different for each credit union; however, here are a few ways you may be eligible for entry into the credit union: • Through your employer or industry • Based on where you live • Through a family member • Through a group like school, church, or association.

How do credit unions differ from banks? Credit Unions are managed by a volunteer board of directors elected by the members.

Credit unions are also non-profit organizations, so they are structured differently from banks. Money is reinvested into the credit union, while a bank usually has shareholders that make investments in the bank.

There exist benefits for each organization, and it is important to look into each institution to see if what you’re looking for in a financial institution and what programs you feel will fit you best. You can view the Largest 10 Financial Institutions in the Carlisle area in the graphic to the right.

Protect those things you buy

Financial institutions ensure their holdings, it only makes sense that we insure the other assets we hold dear as well. Looking for insurance to protect your precious assets: your health, home, automobiles, recreation vehicles, pets, and more, Carlisle has quite a few places from which to choose. Not only do we have agents from larger, more well-known agencies, but we also have great locally owned insurance companies that can help out area residents insure the things that are most precious to them.

CPAs, Financial Advisors, and Bookkeepers

Forging through the tax code, as well as regulations on various industries can be hard for anyone to wade through. Fortunately, Carlisle has a plethora of certified public accountants and bookkeepers.

These professionals work diligently to stay up on the newest standards and rules that are issued by both local, state, and federal officials.

Protecting your monetary assets and essentially finding ways of making them grow is the tireless efforts of many financial advisors.

Residents can find many advisers from both nationally recognized businesses to privately-owned firms that zero-in on what their customers are looking for and help set them up for future financial success.

A Giving Community A

s the Livability.com article described, Carlisle has very involved non-profit organizations that offer education, arts, cultural, family support, youth, community development, and human services. Being the county seat for Cumberland County, Carlisle is at the epicenter for many non-profit organizations and agencies. Residents can find numerous services and support.

Several of our members provide multiple services to the Carlisle community. At Project SHARE, this food pantry serves food items to low-income families every month, as well as offering cooking classes to kids and adults to eliminate food insecurity and encourage good nutrition.

For those in the community looking to help with human services in the Carlisle, one would look to the United Way of Carlisle and Cumberland County. The United Way of Carlisle and Cumberland County is a non-profit that coordinates its resources through their partner nonprofit organization and agencies to meet the community development needs of the Carlisle area.

Our non-profits support many different sectors of our community. One area is providing day and night shelter for our area’s homeless population. Several organizations work together to provide needed services to these individuals, such as Community CARES. St. Paul Lutheran Church also assists area residents that may need help by offering a Wednesday Evening Community Dinner and Contemporary Service. One other organization that assists area residents with meals is The Salvation Army of Carlisle. They hold an evening dinner called My Brother’s Table.

And while the above-mentioned organizations support those that may need a little help, the Employment Skills Center of Carlisle assists people in the area with earning adult basic education, their GED, English as a Second Language (ESL), computer training, nurse aide training, as well as workforce development within the Carlisle area.

Through this Center, adults may seek help with continuing education, earning degrees and certifications. A financial

assistance organization available in the downtown through Maranatha-Carlisle, whose goal is to help at risk individuals and families with financial guidance and education, as well as bill payments services.

The Carlisle Non-Profit community serves a wide spectrum of those in need, from youth to adult. Our community cares about each other and will pull together in the toughest of times.

Meets the first and third Tuesday of the month at Noon.

Agriculture AND THE

W

Suppliers

hat is one area that impacts our food supply, our environmental and the economy? If you said agriculture, give yourself ten points.

It’s important to take a deeper look at how agriculture, especially locally owned farms, impact the local community and economy.

The Big Picture

The Cumberland Valley, of which Carlisle is the heart, is very rich with local family farms. First it starts with the farmer and the farm. In Cumberland County, we have more than 162 farms that covers more than 19,984 acres of land. The county ranks number seven in the state when it comes to farmland preservation. Through several state programs, Pennsylvania has made farm preservation a top priority because of the great impact on the community and the local economy.

A few of those programs include the

Agricultural Security Areas program, the Pennsylvania Agricultural Conservation Easement Purchase Program (PACE), and the Clean and Green program. Each of these programs assists Pennsylvania communities to preserve and protect the farming landscape.

Farming provides not only local sustenance through the growth of different crops, which are harvested and sold to local retailers that are then sold to the consumers; but it also provides land management and cultivation, transportation jobs, distribution jobs, as well as retail employment. All of this stems from one farm. You can see how every of the 162 farms in the county creates growth within the county.

Cumberland County is the fastest growing county in Pennsylvania for good reason: innovation and transportation. Transportation plays an important role in farming because every farm needs reliable equipment that enables its product to be harvested and then equipment to transport these goods to market and sale.

Local Members that Stand Out

Destiny Dairy Bar at their booth at the Farmers on the Square Farmer’s Market.

In 2022, we welcomed Destiny Dairy Bar to the Carlisle business community. A dream sprung from the local Stover Farms, the Destiny Dairy Bar products include A2 dairy items such as a variety of flavored creamlined milk, ice cream, as well as Wagyu beef meat available in various cuts. Located right outside of Carlisle on 60 Horners Road, you can

visit the bar and pick up fresh milk, meat, and ice cream. You can also check out the livestock through the tour of their facility and learn more about the whole process.

Eleven Oaks Farms is located in Newville, PA just a short drive from downtown Carlisle. At Eleven Oaks you will find American Wagyu grown right here in South Central Pennsylvania. This family-owned farm specializes in pasture raised beef in an open pasture. They are graded as American “Kobe” beef. Eleven Oaks also raises Gloucestershire pigs in its open pastures. You can have their delicious meats delivered to your home if you’re within 75 miles of their farm.

From the small town of Newville, we now move to Gardners, PA that is located just off route 94 a few miles south of Carlisle. You’ll find as you’re traveling south a mass expense of fruit trees and beehives. As you find yourself in the midst of these beautiful rolling hills of trees, you are in the middle of Peters Orchard.

This family-owned farm has operated since 1870. Here you’ll find numerous locally grown fruits, vegetables, honey, dairy, and eggs.

Should you not want to travel outside of Carlisle, on Wednesdays you can go to the town square and shop local vendors at the “Farmers on the Square” farmers’ market.

These farmers and vendors come together once a week and bring their specialty to sell at the market. If you’re new to the area, this is a great opportunity to get connected to local vendors and see what Carlisle has to offer.

Are you interested in becoming a farmer? One of the best resources one can use to learn more about the local agricultural scene is discover the Penn State Agricultural Extension located on Allen Road in Carlisle.

They work with area farmers and horticulturalist to perpetuate the science of agriculture in our area.

You can learn more today by using our member category directory in the back to discover the ways to find the extension and other agricultural members.
