A Technology Center Targeted for Innovation

The Bloomsburg Regional Technology Center is located in the Greater Susquehanna Keystone Innovation Zone. The GSKIZ will provide support for the commercialization of new technology concepts through relationships with Bloomsburg University, Bucknell University, Susquehanna University and Geisinger Medical Center. Targeted companies located in these zones are eligible for some relief on certain state taxes, and receive priority consideration when applying for other state grants and loans.

A community where quality of life matters...

The Bloomsburg Regional Technology Center is located in the heart of Bloomsburg, a community of just over 12,000. The Post Office, town library and Main Street are all within close proximity of the Tech Center's front door. A five minute walk along shop-lined streets will take you to one of nearly a dozen distinctive restaurants. Downtown Bloomsburg has become a model to other communities involved in revitalization. A section of the town has been named a National Historical District. Half a mile away are a beautiful town park and the campus of Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania.

A Cultural Haven

Although Bloomsburg retains the charm of a small town, cultural opportunities abound. The Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble is known nationally for the quality of its productions. The area is home to numerous visual artists, including painters, photographers, ceramicists and sculptors. Bloomsburg University, in addition to hosting a student theatre group of its own, has eight performing groups, one of which welcomes participation from community members. In September, the Bloomsburg Fair attracts over half a million visitors to the area and highlights the rural heritage of the region. Each April, Renaissance Jamboree, an all-day fair, brings family entertainment and arts and crafts to Main Street.

Accessible Location

Bloomsburg is within a few hours driving distance of several major cities. Interstate 80 is less than a five-minute drive from Downtown. New York City is about three and a half hours away, Philadelphia is less than three hours, and Harrisburg and State College are about two hours.
