Hastings
Hastings is a small Cambria County borough in northern Cambria — coal-era industrial heritage in the surrounding ridges, walkable Main Street, primarily residential rural setting today. The working business mix is what you'd expect at this scale: small retail, trades and service operators serving the surrounding rural townships, ag-adjacent operators, and the home offices of professionals along the Route 36 corridor. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms for Cambria County operators at this scale — purpose-built operating systems with intelligent automation baked in — and the math frequently lands well even on a one- or two-owner shop.
