Partnership for
Progress
Central to
the Economic Development Mission is the establishment
and maintenance of key relationships which will enable
the economic climate of Abington Township to prosper and
grow. Vital to this endeavor, is the formation of key
partnerships which enable possibilities to become a
reality. Realizing that all business in Abington shares
one common linkage, which is its association with the
local government providing vital business services such
as sewage treatment trash, fire and police protection,
road repair, plowing, lighting, streetscape improvement,
grant opportunities, and tax abatement programs. It is
the greater mission of the EDO to unite all economic
resources for the global good of the Abington Business
Community. To this end, the EDO encourages, all
business entities and support organizations to work
together in Partnerships for progress.
