INDUSTRY

Lebanon County is a diverse and growing area. Located near the Southeastern portion of Pennsylvania, the County is influenced by the prosperity and growth of Philadelphia and neighboring Berks, Dauphin and Lancaster counties.

New housing starts between 1975 and 1993 totaled 10,139. This figure is based on the number of building permits issued for single family dwellings, mobile homes and multifamily units and is adjusted for demolition of units.
