Department of Development

The Jefferson County Department of Development is responsible for comprehensive planning efforts and providing technical assistance to the municipalities in Jefferson County. The staff also provides assistance and preliminary reviews for the Jefferson County Planning Commission. The Jefferson County Planning Commission is a seven (7) member board that meets every two months during the year at 8:30 AM at Jefferson Place, 155 Main Street, Brookville, PA 15825.

Welcome to Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, a premier location for business and industry in West-Central Pennsylvania!

The Jefferson County Department of Development (DOD) is your primary contact for all matters related to community and economic development in Jefferson County.

At the community development level, the DOD administers programs such as the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), home repair and housing rehabilitation initiatives, infrastructure improvement projects, fair housing compliance, and ADA accessibility planning. The department also supports and staffs the Jefferson County Planning Commission. Notably, Jefferson County does not have a county-wide Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance (SALDO) or county-wide zoning, meaning land use and zoning regulations are managed at the municipal level.

On the economic development side, the DOD serves as a liaison to new and existing businesses by providing access to financing, site selection assistance, workforce and market research, and business support resources. The department administers a low-interest loan program, oversees the Jefferson County Development Council (JCDC), and directs the Industrial Development Authority and the Hospital Authority. As the designated Team Pennsylvania agency for Jefferson County, the DOD also connects local businesses to regional and state-level opportunities.

Whether you’re a resident, a business owner, or a prospective investor, the Department of Development is here to support Jefferson County’s growth and success.
