Media
Banks, boutiques, financial services, and fine restaurants all find Media a marvelous place to do business. The only Fair Trade Town in America, the business community has consciously decided to use its collective buying power to improve the lives of others. From law offices to community groups, all types of organizations and businesses in the community are favoring Fair Trade products.
The community has also worked considerably to improve the operations of its businesses. The Borough of Media and the Media Business Authority, with the support of six local banks, offer low interest loans to businesses with the goal of improving and preserving Media's business district.
While many residents work in Media, some commute regularly to Philadelphia via train or trolley. Others regularly drive to nearby locations or work at one of the region's many colleges. These colleges not only provide opportunities for employment, they also provide Media's businesses with a well-educated workforce. More than half of Media's adult residents have their college degrees.
