Business Retention & Expansion Program (BREP)

The Commonwealth is home to the nation’s most aggressive job retention program: the Pennsylvania Business Retention and Expansion Program (BREP). It was established in 1997 to forge better working relationships and stronger collaboration among various public, private, state and local economic development organizations, with the goal of enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of efforts to retain and grow existing Pennsylvania businesses. Since its inception, representatives of the BREP have completed over 73,400 visits to Pennsylvania businesses.
