Doing business in Lancaster
Lancaster is the county seat of Lancaster County, and its economy leans on health care, public administration, manufacturing, professional services and tourism. Lancaster General Hospital, part of Penn Medicine, is the county's largest employer in state workforce data, followed by Mutual Assistance Group, Giant Food Stores and Eurofins Lancaster Laboratories. Fulton Financial and Armstrong World Industries, the ceiling and wall materials maker, are both headquartered in Lancaster, and Franklin & Marshall College and Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology are among the area's schools.
Downtown activity centers on Penn Square and Queen Street near the Lancaster County Convention Center, and Burle Business Park is the city's only commercial and industrial park. Off U.S. Route 30, Greenfield Corporate Center covers about 600 acres and offers everything from 150 square foot private offices to large distribution buildings. That range means Lancaster copier needs swing from a desktop unit in an executive suite to a high volume system in a bank or lab.

What Lancaster offices should know before leasing a copier
- Leasing equipment counts as a sale under Pennsylvania tax law, so each lease payment carries the 6% state sales tax. Lancaster County adds no local sales tax; the only local add-ons in Pennsylvania are in Allegheny County and Philadelphia.
- A bundled maintenance or service agreement is also taxable in Pennsylvania on its full charge, whatever the agreement is called. Request a quote that breaks out equipment and service so your bookkeeper can confirm the tax on both.
- Several of Lancaster County's largest employers are public, including the County of Lancaster, the School District of Lancaster and the Lancaster Lebanon Intermediate Unit. Municipalities, school districts, authorities and tax-exempt nonprofit schools and health organizations can register free for COSTARS, the state's cooperative purchasing program, and buy from its contracts. Confirm a dealer's COSTARS contract before relying on it.
