Meet York County's most influential people for 2023: Business
September 19, 2023
Published By York Daily Record
In a world of change, one thing remains constant: The number of people who work, often behind the scenes, to make our lives a little better.
The York Daily Record and its sister publication, The Evening Sun of Hanover, sought to highlight those who have a big impact in York County – from the entertainment world, to activists, to politicians and sports stars and business leaders.
You won't agree with every pick. That's to be expected. And we consciously made some unexpected choices to highlight some emerging community leaders rather than household names.
This group is more about who had an impact on our lives rather than a simple popularity contest. These lists are in no way comprehensive.
The goal here is to offer recognition of those working hard throughout our county and as a reminder of who to watch. We encourage debate and feedback!
Methodology: The entire York Daily Record and Evening Sun staff participated in this project. We created teams for each category, and team members crowd-sourced potential nominees, asking community members for their suggestions. We then undertook the daunting task of narrowing each list down to the top five.
Anthony Moore
Anthony Moore spent over a decade helping manufacturing operations, moving around to Ohio, New York, the Carolinas, Canada and even England. The engineer came to York in 2017 to be the vice president of operations at Graham Architectural Products, but when that ended in 2019, Moore chose to stay and make an impact on the local communities.
Today, he runs The Eden Mandate LLC, which purchases properties to flip and remodel. He’s also the owner of The FAB Group Logistics LLC, a trucking company. Moore also co-owns Four Squares Development LLC, a real estate company focused on revitalizing city blocks. Through this, he and his business partner, Fred Walker, rebuild neighborhoods using a local workforce and enable residents to become homeowners.
Moore, along with Walker, became the first minority shareowners of the York Revolution baseball team in 2021. Moore is also a board member for the York Symphony Orchestra and Leadership York.
Moore also serves on serve on the York College Urban Collaborative Advisory Board, York College YCCOSP Community Activity Board, LogosWorks Advisory Board and the Affordable Housing Advocates Projects and Facilities Committee
"I’m passionate about York because this is the longest tenure I’ve ever been in one location and I’ve had the ability to establish roots and great relationships. This county has so much potential, and I’m excited to be on the front lines of helping to bring the potential into fruition."
"I’ve always been fortunate and blessed to have great mentors that provided opportunities for me that I wouldn’t have normally been presented to someone with my complexion. They saw my work ethic and intelligence, and helped catapult me to the next level of my corporate career. I feel as though it’s my responsibility to do the same for others," he added.
