PITTSBURGH, December 4, 2008 — Five Star Development, Inc. announced today that it has been ranked 24th on the Top 100 Best Places to Work in PA for 2008. The program is a public/private partnership of Team Pennsylvania Foundation, the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry, and the Central Penn Business Journal.  Companies from across the state entered the two-part process to determine the 100 Best Places to Work in PA. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, philosophies, systems and demographics. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. Nearly 45,000 Pennsylvania employees filled out the survey. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Dave Colaizzi, Five Star CEO/CTO and co-founder, commented, “Recognition at this level is only possible when everyone in the organization is fully aligned to our business goals and engaged and committed to their work. That partnership spirit is the foundation of our business.” Five Star accepted the award at a ceremony on December 2 at the Best Places to Work in PA Conference and Awards Ceremony in Hershey, PA.
