Forest City is a borough in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, situated at the corners of Susquehanna, Lackawanna, & Wayne counties. During the process of developing the GFCBA Strategic Plan, the town celebrated its 150th year. Over time, the town has seen thriving lumber, coal, & textiles industries, & a population high of 6,000 to present day, where it is made up of small businesses & has a population of approximately 1900.

A simple stroll down Main Street, Forest City in late September 2012 sparked a movement in the business community to take the bull by the horns to create a unified, working, strong town to increase consumers & businesses alike. This organization was built from the ground up to include officers, a board of directors, & a growing membership of 80+ local businesses, including businesses not just within the town, but in the Greater Forest City area. Strong connections have been made with other non-profit organizations, state officials, & local community leaders in an effort to create an area where people want to live, work, play, & shop.
