The Department of Community and Economic Development in Pennsylvania has announced a five million dollar investment into 11 sporting events across the state. The investment, part of the SportsMarketing and Tourism Program, is expected to bring in $240.2 million to the state’s economy. Governor Shapiro believes that hosting these events will showcase Pennsylvania as a premier sporting destination and attract visitors from around the world. The events include the Men’s U.S. Open, IRONMAN Triathlon, PGA Championship, MLB All-Star Game, and more, in various counties across the state. The goal is to boost tourism, create jobs, and generate revenue for local businesses. The investment has been well received by event organizers and local leaders, who see the potential for long-term economic growth and community engagement. The events are set to take place between 2024-2026 and will highlight Pennsylvania’s rich sports culture and diverse landscapes. For more information, visit the DCED’s website and social media pages.
