Greentech Lead America: Pennsylvania is expanding its commitment to advance clean, alternative and renewable energy sources with the investment of more than $9.6 million in 13 projects in 11 counties, Governor Corbett announced.
One of the approved projects includes PMF Industries that will receive a $250,000 Alternative and Clean Energy Program grant for their manufacturing facility expansion project located in Williamsport, Lycoming County.
To meet with the growing demand in the manufacturing, automotive and retail sectors, PMF plans to expand their precision metal forming manufacturing facility to allow for the manufacturing of compressed natural gas (CNG) cylinders. The expansion project is expected to create 25 new jobs in the next three years.
The Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) has approved 13 projects, through the state’s Alternative and Clean Energy Program including five Compressed Natural Gas and Liquefied Natural Gas fueling stations which have the benefits of reducing emissions, fuel savings and utilizing the large domestic source of natural gas available in Pennsylvania.
In total, 13 projects were approved in Allegheny, Beaver, Bucks, Carbon, Cumberland, Dauphin, Erie, Lackawanna, Lycoming, Montgomery and Schuylkill
