During his keynote address, Siger discussed current macroeconomic indicators, recent accomplishments of the DCED, his budget priorities for 2023-24, Pennsylvania’s economic development strategy and how they tie in with Bucks County businesses.

Moderating the forum was Alex Halper, VP of Government Affairs for the PA Chamber of Business and Industry.
County Commissioners Bob Harvie and Diane Ellis-Marseglia also attended.
“We truly appreciate our partnership with Delaware Valley University for hosting for us, Amy McDermott and Tom Bruhn for photos and video and our media sponsor the Bucks County Herald,” said the chamber in a social media post.
