Pennsylvania Laying Groundwork For Nanotechnology As Economic Driver, DCED Official Says

Pennsylvania is
helping prepare the groundwork for a new nanotechnology economy, a top
Rendell administration economic development official told attendees
yesterday at the "NANO for Business 2008" conference in Breinigsville,
Lehigh County.

Department of Community and Economic Development Deputy Secretary
Rebecca Bagley said an AeA (formerly the American Electronics Association)
report ranked Pennsylvania as the nation's 7th largest "cyberstate." The
commonwealth showed significant growth in high-tech services and employed
210,000 high-tech workers with a total payroll of $15.1 billion in the
reporting period, 2005 - 2006, according to the report.
