Barber says Harrisburg is within a 500-mile radius of 40% of the nation’s population, which is “extremely attractive” to private companies looking for development investments. Pennsylvania’s capital also houses operations for all state departments, giving engineering firms the opportunity to provide technical services to those agencies, from planning to design to construction management. Barber says engineering expertise is critical to the region’s growth as “data management becomes increasingly imperative to state agencies.”
