Lancaster County Economic Development Awarded Grand from Comporium in Late December 2025

The Lancaster County Economic Development department received a grant for an undisclosed amount from Comporium in late December 2025.

"As a locally rooted company and an active part of the Lancaster County community, we believe it's important to reinvest where we live and work," said Shaun Barnes, vice president of Corporate Communications and Business Development at Comporium. "This grant reflects our core values and our long­ standing commitment to service, stewardship, and supporting thoughtful, infrastructure-driven growth that benefits the entire community."

The money is scheduled to be used throughout 2026 to go to pay for future infrastructure improvements at Heath Springs Business Park. The grant requires that the money be used to help with infrastructure. The money from the grant will be used to help with the development of Ann Taylor Blvd. within the Business Park.

"We appreciate the generosity of Comporium in giving Lancaster County this grant," said County Council Chairman Brian Carnes. "It is through partnership like the ones we have with Comporium that allows for great things In Lancaster County to occur."

The County is in the process of developing land in the Heath Springs Business Park in hopes of attracting a future company to locate within the location. The total development of the land within the Heath Springs Business Park could cost $2 million.

"On behalf of Lancaster County and the Department of Economic Development, we want to extend our thanks to Comporium, Inc. and its affiliated companies for a generous contribution to needed infrastructure and related improvements at the Heath Springs Business Park in Lancaster County," said Brian Fulk, Lancaster County Economic Development Director.

"These funds will be used to improve one or more industrial lots at the park. Our intention is to create another shovel-ready site at the park in order to attract an industry offering new higher-paying employment opportunities for the community."

Lancaster County seeks funding from federal, state and local corporations in partnership, when possible, to help offset the potential tax burden on the people of Lancaster County.

"The Heath Springs Business Park is a vital part of the Heath Springs community," said local County Council representative Bryant Neal. "Creating infrastructure to attract business to Heath Springs is key for the future of the community."
