The site of the 1863 American Civil War battle is today the base of the Lincoln Leadership Institute at Gettysburg, which offers training for top executives, many from Fortune 100 companies like Pfizer, FedEx, and GE. Building business goes hand in hand with enhancing quality of life. A key part of the Community & Economic Development department’s mandate is to improve residential areas, a commitment that helped earn the city #2 spot for Neighborhoods. Along with a low crime rate, Gettysburg ranked #8 in our Place category. Another priority is the Gettysburg Gateway Connectivity Project, a multiblock $11-million revitalization plan that will connect to Federal Park Service Land (Gettysburg National Military Park and the David Wills House) at each end of the historic center’s Baltimore street (where Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address took place).
