Tang agreed. “The area is extremely strong in education and medicine,” he said. “We’ve got Lehigh University, which provides great support for our technical needs. And we’ve got two great healthcare systems, St. Luke’s and Lehigh Valley Health Network.” “We’ve had an explosion of industrial growth the past five years,” said Cunningham. “In 2017 we went over $40 billion for our local GDP for the first time – the GDP is higher today than when we had steel. Manufacturing is now third largest for numbers of jobs, and second largest for output for Lehigh Valley. We’ve got 680 different manufacturers across two counties.”
