Growing Opportunities in Clarion County

Agriculture is one of Clarion County's foundational industries. From dairy and livestock operations to crop production, horticulture, forestry, agritourism, and value-added food businesses, agriculture continues to strengthen our local economy and preserve the rural character that makes our county unique.

The Clarion County Economic Development Corporation (CCEDC) is committed to helping agricultural businesses succeed. We work alongside farmers, producers, processors, and agribusinesses to identify opportunities, solve challenges, and connect operations with the resources they need to grow.

Whether you're planning an expansion, starting a new agricultural venture, exploring new markets, or looking for funding opportunities, the CCEDC is here to help.
