Ford City
Ford City is an Allegheny River borough in central Armstrong County, with a long industrial heritage tied to the historic Pittsburgh Plate Glass / PPG works, a walkable downtown commercial district, and a present-day business mix of trades, light industrial, small commercial operators, and family-run service businesses serving the surrounding Allegheny Valley community. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms for Ford City operators — purpose-built operating systems with intelligent automation baked in — replacing the patchwork of disconnected SaaS subscriptions most small Armstrong County businesses are paying for today.
