Welcome to the Keystone Development Center (KDC).  KDC has been working with emerging, start-up and established cooperatives and businesses throughout the Mid-Atlantic Region for many years.  We provide quality research and business development support.  Our experienced team of cooperative and business development specialists can support you and your group from development through to operations.

If you are new to cooperatives, we suggest you begin with the About Co-ops page.  At any time, feel free to fill out our request for assistance form and someone will contact you directly to answer questions and provide additional information.

Participate in the
​2021 PA Co-op Census! 
KDC is conducting the PA Cooperative Census. We intend to update the public-facing directory of the cooperative economy in Pennsylvania. Additionally, this survey will assess the needs of Pennsylvania co-ops with a particular focus on human resource services. Please make your voice heard and join us in assessing and promoting the positive impact that cooperatives have on Pennsylvania’s communities!
