Central Susquehanna Intermediate Unit #16 (CSIU), located in the Milton Industrial Park, was created by the Pennsylvania General Assembly in 1971 as one of 29 intermediate units in the commonwealth.

CSIU's primary service area consists of Columbia, Montour, Northumberland, Snyder and Union counties in central Pennsylvania, which includes 17 school districts, three technical schools and more than 70 nonpublic schools. CSIU also markets a wide range of products and services to education and other public agencies throughout and outside Pennsylvania.
