Governor Cites Marcellus Shale as Huge Opportunity for State

Submitted by: Jeff Kimball, President and CEO, L.R. Kimball

At the GPCC’s “Conversation with the Governor” event this week, Governor Rendell addressed the more than 500 attendees on a wide range of issues from health care to job creation to the environment. As a Pennsylvanian and business owner, the Governor’s plan around natural gas from the Marcellus Shale geological formation in Pennsylvania was of particular interest. Marcellus Shale represents the prospect to generate new revenue and jobs within our state. Nationally, Marcellus Shale is a great opportunity not only for my company, but the commonwealth and residents of Pennsylvania to lead the charge around energy creation and environmentalism.

Finally, as he approaches the end of his final term, I would like to thank Governor Rendell for his dedication and service to Pennsylvania and wish him the best in his future endeavors.
