You’re the Why Behind Our Work!

BY KEVIN J. SCHREIBER PRESIDENT & CEO, YORK COUNTY ECONOMIC ALLIANCE Happy New Year, YoCo! As we jump into 2019, I’d like to share some substantial achievements of the York County Economic Alliance for the past year. Each day, our team dedicates their time to making York County a better place to live, work, and play—for each and every resident in the county.

Our YCEA team works incredibly hard to strengthen and revitalize our community, to improve overall investor confidence, to strengthen employment sectors, and to enhance our county’s competitive advantage, thus leading toward greater shared prosperity for our residents and businesses.

The YCEA assisted in more than $180 million in economic development activity in 2018. Thus, for every $1 contributed by a county taxpayer, more than $180 was produced in economic activity with direct assistance from the YCEA team and its efforts.

A few brief highlights from this past year include: •

The YCEA facilitated projects and initiatives that retained 3,987 jobs, created more than 1,400 jobs, and generated approximately $179,781,000 in capital investment.

•

The cumulative award of $19.4 million in PA RACP funding for projects in York County—this amount includes $1.4 million toward downtown Hanover’s revitalization—was the first such award since the 1990s.

•

The York County Land Bank Authority was created to combat blight.

•

Our strategic affiliation with Downtown Inc will leverage the resources and expertise of both organizations to enhance the capacity and impact that we can provide throughout York County.

•

Development progress continued on our highest profile project, The Yorktowne Hotel. In 2018, we proudly announced Tapestry Collection by Hilton as the corporate hotel partner, and the initial phase of demolition and environmental remediation was completed.

•

We launched the very beginning of a countywide workforce action plan titled “Pathways to Prosperity.”

•

As you are vastly aware by now, we have a new visual identity and communications strategy to propel this momentum forward.

And we’re just getting started! That’s right: 2019 will assuredly bring new excitement, success, challenges, opportunities, and growth. We thank YOU, our members, partners, friends, cheerleaders, champions, and ambassadors, for being the WHY behind our work.

Cheers!

YORK COUNTY LIBRARIES: Transforming Lives in YoCo

YORK COUNTY LIBRARIES PRESIDENT ROBERT F. LAMBERT (CENTER) WITH MICHAEL KOCHENOUR (LEFT) AND LYNDA RANDALL (RIGHT), CO-CHAIRS OF THE YORK COUNTY LIBRARIES CAPITAL CAMPAIGN IMAGINE. DISCOVER. CONNECT.

Each year, more than 1.5 million people converge at transformative places where they imagine their futures, discover answers, and connect with community. Those places are the 13 York County Libraries serving communities from Hellam to Hanover, Dillsburg to Dover, Spring Grove to Brogue, and Etters to the Mason-Dixon Line and beyond. In an era where technology provides near instantaneous access to information, York County Libraries and its approximately 250 employees and volunteers are leaders in strengthening the York County community by enriching individual lives. Their professionals are poised to ignite creativity, nurture knowledge, and birth collaborations and partnerships to the more than 250,000 library cardholders.

This year, York County Libraries unveils its plans to enhance its community spaces and offer YoCo’s business community access to a full complement of technology resources.

08 YoCo CONNECT | JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2019 | YCEAPA.ORG

POWERING YoCo’S ECONOMIC ENGINE

Three Libraries, One Goal The Kaltreider-Benfer Library in Red Lion, the Kreutz Creek Library in Hellam, and Martin Library in York: In 2017, these three locations combined helped more than 545,000 users at their community-centric libraries. To offer engaging programming, job search resources, and ways to connect people in the community with new ideas and innovations, the libraries themselves need more physical space. Contributions to a $10 million capital campaign—its public phase launches in April and extends through June— will enable York County Libraries to turn existing physical infrastructure limitations at these library locations into limitless sources for inspiration.

When completed, the renovations to Kaltreider-Benfer, Kreutz Creek, and Martin Library will enhance and expand children’s areas to foster early learning experiences and create teen spaces that empower youth to develop leadership and technology skills. Architectural design will make the libraries easier and safer to use, optimize library services through self-service and streamlined user operations, and shape new study areas, places for gathering, and reading spaces.

The Role of Libraries in Technology Access and Workforce Development York County Libraries—and libraries across the country—are taking on a prominent role in promoting a value that New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman refers to as “the importance of self-motivation.”

development pipeline,” says Robert F. Lambert, president of York County Libraries. That pipeline will support the inclusion of emerging technologies such as advanced computer programming and robotics.

In a 2018 opinion piece on libraries and workforce development published by the Public Library Association (PLA), Felton Thomas, director of the Cleveland (Ohio) Public Library and 2016–2017 PLA president, observes, “We’ve learned that for some individuals offering technology training can help them discover and explore their interests, talents, and innovation. We saw how access to a mini-laser engraver can inspire a 22-year-old college dropout to start his own wedding glass engraving business.”

“The more we introduce these technologies into our libraries, the more visible and vital we become to those who are engaged in workforce development,” he adds. “I want to involve the business community in conversations revolving around two questions. One, what can our libraries offer that no other place can? And secondly, how can libraries adapt to meet the evolving workforce development needs in York County?”

“York County Libraries are on the front lines of developing our 21st-century workforce. They introduce our young people to the pathway to prosperity,” says York County Economic Alliance President and CEO Kevin Schreiber.

“Think about it: What other network of resources position themselves throughout YoCo, welcome all people through their doors, serve as the clearinghouse of education, provide technology for all ages and backgrounds, bring together multiple generations of York Countians, and serve as the hub of information and connections in our community? Beyond books, libraries are the information desk for YoCo’s residents in the 21st century.”

Consider this statistic: In one year alone, York County Libraries hosts 2 million wireless internet uses. From 2014 to 2017, Wi-Fi use increased 62 percent with usage projected to reach the 3.6 million mark by 2025. These figures alone point to the role York County Libraries occupy as a leading technology provider and initiator of breaking down the digital and technology divide.

“Our libraries are in a unique position to help people discover skills needed for success by offering access to technology.

They are positioned to strengthen the technology

REVVING UP FOR CHANGE

A Q&A With Eric Menzer, President, York Revolution

VISUALIZATIONS COURTESY OF YORK REVOLUTION

In 2019, the York Revolution’s 1741 Club is slated to open. With an eye on the customer experience and making “best days ever” possible, we asked York Revolution President Eric Menzer about the inspiration behind the 1741 Club and what guests can expect.

Q: Before we dive in, for anyone not yet familiar with it, what is the 1741 Club?

A: The 1741 Club presented by UPMC Pinnacle, is the new, completely flexible, all-inclusive hospitality experience at PeoplesBank Park for 2019.

Q: What was the behind-the-scenes conversation that created the concept for the 1741 Club?

A: The nature of employee and client events is changing, and we wanted to change with it. Our customers need an option that enables them to reward employees and thank clients in a cool environment without much advance commitment and without worrying about ordering food, dietary concerns, extra cost, or running short of hospitality. This is our answer to that need.

Q: The 1741 is obviously a nod to the history of York being founded in 1741. Why is that date connection an important concept for the Revs?

A: Our building and our game are about tradition, but we like to present it with a modern twist. If you look at the 1741 Club logo, you’ll see it expressed even there. There is nothing stuffy or old-fashioned about it!

10 YoCo CONNECT | JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2019 | YCEAPA.ORG

POWERING YoCo’S ECONOMIC ENGINE

Q: The 1741 Club is a unique experience coming to the York market. What type of research was conducted to craft it?

A: We researched industry trends then visited two other successful, new venues like this: one in St. Paul, Minnesota, and another in Charleston, South Carolina. We hired Erin McGlaughlin with Design Quake to lead our team through the process of developing it, and we prototyped it with real customers during the 2017 season. Their feedback to our ideas helped us refine them, and the 1741 Club was announced in the spring of 2018. Construction started October 15, 2018.

Q: What are some of the premier changes guests can expect to notice?

A: The environment and decor will be the first things. I really think people will walk in and say “wow.” We are completely transforming the old White Rose Hall. It will be much more like your favorite bar or restaurant than a hotel banquet room. They will also immediately recognize that we’ve come up with a fun menu that is upscale and tasty without being stuffy.

Q: What excites you the most about this change?

A: We’ve had a great response from people when we present membership options. We think we really hit the mark on price, the features, and operations of the club. And our mascot, Downtown, is really excited about the “deconstructed cheeseburger” we have on the menu. He’s anxious to show it off to people!

VISUALIZATIONS COURTESY OF UPMC PINNACLE 14 YoCo CONNECT | JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2019 | YCEAPA.ORG

POWERING YoCo’S ECONOMIC ENGINE

Q: UPMC Pinnacle is establishing a great presence in the York community. What are the top three things the community can expect from UPMC Pinnacle?

A: In the short time since our system has come together, residents of southcentral Pennsylvania are already seeing the benefits of our eight acute care hospitals and expanding network of outpatient locations working together to serve the health care needs of our community.

First, UPMC Pinnacle will be even better at providing our core services by improving access to health care, offering innovative and leading-edge treatment, and providing compassionate and personalized care to each and every patient.

As our network continues to grow, not only are we adding more locations where York County residents can receive care, but we are also able to expand access to innovative treatments using the most advanced technology. It opens the door for residents here in York to benefit from research, best practices, and quality care that can only be achieved by being part of a world-class health care network.

Most importantly, though, our patients can expect to receive the same compassionate care they know and trust at all of our facilities. We have always been community minded; after all, we live here too, and we always want to treat patients like they are members of our own family.

Q: What are UPMC Pinnacle’s plans to make York County a healthier place to live, work, and play?

A: We are continually working to improve the services we provide and engage with our community, but we are most excited to open the new UPMC Pinnacle Memorial hospital in York this summer. Our new facility and health campus is going to redefine health care in York County.

The 126-bed hospital will feature the most advanced equipment for imaging, surgical services, and cardiovascular care. We will be adding several new services not available at our current location, including open heart surgery and a Level II Specialty Care Nursery.

There will also be features that will change the expectations of patients for health care. Not only will all patient rooms in the new hospital be private, but they will also have built-in “smart” technology and an interactive patient system. We are also promoting complete health and well-being for our community by incorporating a reflection pond outside of the hospital’s main entrance, a rooftop serenity garden at the outpatient center, and approximately 3 miles of walking paths on the campus that will be open to the community.

Q: It’s clear York County is a leader in housing health care powerhouses. Why do you think that is?

A: I think that goes back to our community itself. Having one of the fastest growing populations in Pennsylvania, and being centrally located to so many other metropolitan areas, the health care needs of York County residents have created an environment that has not only fostered the growth of health care networks but also given our community choice in their care.

Having a choice leads to improved quality and reduced costs. As a result, York County benefits from having some of the best access to health care and leading-edge treatments.

A: Ug Plast, Inc. is a manufacturer of a variety of world-class polycarbonate and polypropylene plastic sheets. We supply distributors that serve the construction, printing, display, sign, medical, industrial packaging, and OEM [original equipment manufacturer] markets.

Q: How did you choose York County as your location, and what’s the benefit to being in York?

A: We chose York County due to its geographical location. York County provides convenient access to all major markets in the eastern United States and Canada. York also has a knowledgeable workforce in plastics manufacturing. All our materials are domestically sourced and all products are made in the United States.

Q: This issue of YoCo Connect is about new growth expected to come in York County in 2019. What is Ug Plast working on for 2019?

A: We began just this year [in 2018] in a 72,000-square-foot facility located in York. We expect to exceed 8 million pounds of thermoplastic sheets annually, and once we are fully online, our capacity will exceed 16 million pounds. Our goal for 2019 is to build indispensable partnerships and business relationships with a vast array of markets through our high-quality plastic sheets and exceptional customer service.

Q: How has the York County Economic Alliance assisted with your goals?

A: York County Economic Alliance has offered knowledge and resources to help us adjust to our new manufacturing company in York County.

Q: What is your personal favorite thing about York County?

A: My favorite thing about York County is the community-based atmosphere. Since our arrival, we have been welcomed and offered support by many local resources. This support has been refreshing to see.

ADVOCACY

STORY BY DAVID GONZALEZ JR. MANAGER, ADVOCACY YORK COUNTY ECONOMIC ALLIANCE

In an effort to extend the YoCo love throughout our county, the York County Economic Alliance (YCEA) facilitates municipal highlights to celebrate, provide exposure to, and discuss issues that municipalities across the county are facing. Our municipal highlights invite elected officials and local leaders to a location in the county to showcase their town and address any challenges they may be facing.

The luncheon was followed by a seven-stop tour of businesses and sites of interest for development. From the Old Line Museum to Delta Star Printing Company and a local favorite, the Tea Trolley, guests experienced the area firsthand and learned that this municipality is full of opportunity.

YCEA thanks Delta Pizza & DP Lounge for hosting the discussion and for Exelon Generation’s sponsorship of the luncheon.

Hanover, Fairview, and Dallastown were hosts to our previous installments. In our fourth installment, we visited the Borough of Delta, in the southeastern part of the county. Delta, a borough with about 700 residents, has just as much spirit and goodwill as any community.

As part of the strategic affiliation with Downtown Inc, YCEA will continue to strive to lend support to Main Street communities with technical expertise in urban landscaping, business development, targeted programming, and many other specialties. By having the experts in Main Street programming within our organization, our affiliation will dive even deeper into municipalities to provide support and guidance as these places enhance their downtown communities.

YCEA engaged Delta officials in programming for the day and confirmed who should be a part of the conversation.

State and county officials, business leaders, and a number of Delta residents attended the half-day session. The start of the day included a luncheon where guests learned about current efforts going on in Delta and an overview of its past. Many countywide and statewide organizations shared what efforts they have been a part of in Delta or what they could offer for future growth of the borough.

In the 1800s, slate was a large industry for Delta, once a prominent Welsh community, and surrounding municipalities. Quarries filled with slate, marble, and other natural resources fueled the economy. Elements of slate and the Welsh community are still prevalent today throughout Delta.

Delta is home to the York County BBQ Festival. The festival is sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society, the world’s largest organization of barbecue enthusiasts. A sister event is Spring Grove’s Smoke in the Grove. The fourth annual York County BBQ Festival will run from Friday, June 28, to Saturday, June 29.

Seeing your doctor once a year, or as often as recommended based on your health, is one of the best things you can do to stay healthy.
