Gas Business Expo Planned In Emporium

Potter, Cameron and McKean County businesses, non-profits and municipal officials have a unique opportunity in the coming weeks. “Natural Gas Connections,” based in Emporium, is replacing the traditional gas expo held in the last two years. Three workshops were planned, two of which are still to come:

Tuesday, April 3, 9:30 to noon – A second workshop is geared toward non-profits. Most companies in the natural gas industry have a charitable giving program. Attendees will learn which companies have a program, who to contact, and what types of services they’ll support. Fee is $25. The workshop will be available in Emporium, Coudersport, Kane and Bradford.

Saturday, April 14, 9:30 am to 11:30 am – A third workshop, to be held at Woodland Elementary School, is focused on municipal officials. There is no fee. A speaker from Wild Well Control will address the responsibility of officials in the case of an emergency. A representative of the Pa. State Assn. of Township Supervisors will talk about the latest regulations for road bonding and township responsibilities and options.

Natural Gas Connections is sponsored by a consortium of gas task forces and other agencies in Potter, Cameron and McKean counties and comes on the heels of similar events in Coudersport and Bradford
