Shippensburg
Shippensburg is a borough that straddles the Cumberland-Franklin county line — economically anchored by Shippensburg University (PASSHE), Volvo Construction Equipment's plant on Centerville Road, and the I-81 distribution corridor that runs through both halves of the borough. The Cumberland-side business mix runs the full range: university-adjacent professional services, downtown retail and hospitality along King Street, residential trades, manufacturing-tier-2 suppliers, and the home offices of remote workers. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — purpose-built operating systems with intelligent automation baked in — for Shippensburg operators of every size.
