	Tom Corbett on Local Issues

New high-tech centers in Pittsburg & Philadelphia

Ten or 15 years ago, few would have guessed that Pittsburgh would become a leader in biotech or high technology. Well, today it is a leader in both. When Google completes that new building in Pittsburgh this year, it'll be their second.

The entertainment technology industry that many think California has the market on, is on the move in Pennsylvania too. Just a few weeks ago, I was in Philadelphia when Comcast announced a 1.2 billion-dollar plan to build an innovation and technology center.

When major companies make investments on that scale, they look for cities on the rise, and in this case, they called it right. Why? Because we are building a stronger Pennsylvania.
