 Pennsylvania's state budget continues to reshape the commonwealth's economic landscape with significant investments in workforce development and child care. Governor Josh Shapiro signed the 2025-2026 budget last month, which creates a new 25 million dollar Child Care Staff Recruitment and Retention Program supporting 55,000 child care workers. The budget also allocates 7.5 million dollars for Pre-K Counts to help providers raise wages and 10 million dollars for Early Intervention services. Additionally, a new Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit will deliver 193 million dollars in tax relief to 940,000 working Pennsylvanians, modeled after the federal Earned Income Tax Credit.

Major business developments signal Pennsylvania's growing prominence in the national economy. B. Braun announced a 20 million dollar expansion at its medical device manufacturing facility in Lehigh Valley, creating 200 new jobs over three years. The expansion highlights Pennsylvania's strength in advanced manufacturing and life sciences. More broadly, the commonwealth is positioned to receive over 90 billion dollars in artificial intelligence-related investments from major tech companies including Amazon, Anthropic, and Google. According to the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry, the state's abundant energy resources, water access, and world-class academic institutions make it uniquely suited to lead the AI revolution.

On the legislative front, Governor Shapiro signed the CROWN Act on November 25, taking effect January 24, 2026. This legislation expands the definition of race under the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act to include protective hairstyles and hair texture, joining 28 other states in protecting workers from discrimination based on natural hair choices. The measure passed both chambers with overwhelming bipartisan support.

Looking to the future, significant developments are on the horizon. Governor Shapiro and Republican challenger State Treasurer Stacy Garrity are preparing for what observers expect to be a costly governor's race next year. Meanwhile, lawmakers continue exploring how to regulate skill games, an issue that garnered significant debate during budget negotiations but ultimately did not make final cuts. The state's focus on digital government continues as CODE PA receives 11.5 million dollars to expand online services and access to state resources.

Pennsylvania's momentum reflects strong economic fundamentals and strategic investments positioning the commonwealth as a competitive destination for business and innovation.
