The Heart of Western Pennsylvania
Westmoreland County stretches across southwestern Pennsylvania's rolling hills, where 353,000 residents have built a community that balances industrial heritage with outdoor recreation. From the bustling corridors of Murrysville and Monroeville to the scenic Laurel Highlands, this is where Pittsburgh's eastern suburbs meet mountain trails - where you might grab coffee at a trendy café before hitting the Great Allegheny Passage.
A Legacy of Innovation and Industry
Greensburg, our county seat, anchors a diverse business landscape that tells the story of American manufacturing evolution. Once powered by coal and steel, today's Westmoreland County thrives on advanced manufacturing, healthcare, and energy innovation. The county's 8,500+ businesses range from global manufacturers like Westinghouse and Kennametal to thriving Main Street shops that define our 65 municipalities.
Along the Route 30 corridor through Greensburg, Latrobe, and Ligonier, modern retail centers blend with historic downtowns. The Route 22 business belt connects Murrysville's corporate parks to New Stanton's logistics hubs. Venture into the Laurel Highlands and discover tourism businesses, craft producers, and family enterprises that have weathered generations.
