About Economy

Economy is a quiet, spread-out borough in Beaver County, tucked into the wooded hills just east of the Ohio River. Sitting about 20 miles northwest of Downtown Pittsburgh, it offers a relaxed, semi-rural setting with plenty of space to breathe while keeping everyday conveniences within easy reach. Major routes like Route 65 and nearby Interstate 376 make commuting into the city, heading to the airport, or shopping in neighboring Cranberry straightforward and quick.
