AgConnect

In 2024, Chester County Government and the Chester County Economic Development Council (CCEDC) joined forces to create an expanded AgConnect program that serves to ensure the agricultural industry in Chester County and the southeast Pennsylvania region remains a leading economic sector, now and in the future.

AgConnect includes a newly-established AgConnect Executive Advisory Committee, designed to steer and set strategic priorities. The 11-person committee includes chairpersons from the four AgConnect action teams (see below), three agriculture industry leaders appointed by the Chester County Commissioners, three agriculture employers appointed by the CCEDC, and one staff member from the County Commissioners’ Office.
