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. This combination of beauty and business has made Wayne County the home of the summer camping industry – with over 40 camps providing $24 million annually to the regional economy. Though we maintain our rural character, we also benefit from the creative influences of nearby urban areas, including New York City and Philadelphia. Wayne County is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the business, cultural and recreational opportunities provided by the urban areas, without the typical congestion, crime rate, and higher cost of living.
