LANCASTER, Pa. — Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro visited small businesses in downtown Lancaster during the holiday season to highlight his administration's efforts to cut taxes, deliver economic relief for Pennsylvania families, and invest in the Main Streets and small businesses that are driving economic growth in communities all across the Commonwealth.

Shapiro visited with local business owners at Sweetish Candy, a Swedish candy store; J.A. Sharp Custom Jeweler, a jewelry store; and Madcap & Co., a gift shop featuring locally and USA-made goods. 

All three businesses are located on the 300 block of North Queen Street in the city.

Shapiro was joined by Lancaster City Alliance President Marshall Snively and local legislators, his office said in a press release.

Shapiro heard firsthand how these efforts are driving economic growth and making a meaningful impact in the community.

"With the holiday season in full swing, my Administration is focused on the work we've done to deliver real relief to Pennsylvanians by cutting taxes and helping families keep more of their hard-earned money," Shapiro said. "We're committed to uplifting small businesses and revitalizing the Main Streets - like this one here in downtown Lancaster and others all across the Commonwealth - that serve as the foundation of our communities. 

"These investments are not just about today - they're about building a stronger, more vibrant economy where families and businesses can succeed for years to come."
