Wayne County lures a mix of small businesses because of its growing infrastructure, proximity to NY/NJ metro markets, cost advantages, and increasing labor supply.  Everyday business needs are met in a rural setting with outstanding natural beauty and enviable quality of life. Though we maintain our rural character, we also benefit from the creative influences of nearby urban areas, including New York City and Philadelphia.  Our business base features strong tourism and construction industries, more agriculture than is found in neighboring Pocono Counties, and an increase in businesses that serve a growing, creative and diverse community.  We are also home to some well-known businesses – such as Highlights for Children Magazine, Himalayan International Institute, and Cove Haven Resort.
