Capital Blue Cross will be the Presenting Sponsor of Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation’s 2025 Annual Meeting that will be held March 18 at ArtsQuest at SteelStacks in Bethlehem. 
The event will celebrate the dynamic partnerships and initiatives that keep the Lehigh Valley thriving, and recognize the 30th anniversary of LVEDC, which was founded with the mission of creating opportunities for all. The Lehigh Valley’s balanced and diverse economy, driven by manufacturing, has reached a record GDP of $55.7 billion with household income also rising to record levels.
The 90-minute Annual Meeting program will provide insights into the economic forces driving the economy and the visionary programs preparing Lehigh Valley for tomorrow.
Last year’s meeting drew a capacity crowd of about 750 of the region’s business, corporate, community, economic development, and educational leaders.
The event also features time for networking at the SteelStacks venue, an award-winning example of the Lehigh Valley’s evolution from an industrial region into one with a modern, diverse economy.
