Marcellus Shale Hour: Impact Fees
PITTSBURGH (NewsRadio 1020 KDKA) — Range Resources' Matt Pitzarella joined KDKA Radio's Robert Mangino for the Marcellus Shale Hour.
They were joined by Commissioners Diana Irey Vaughan and Harlan Shober of Washington County.
According to Commissioner Shober, impact fees for Washington Country will provide great benefits to the community.
"I think it's a tremendous boost to Washington County right now. Not only do we have money going into things that have needed money for a long time, but I think we're planning for the future", said Shober.
Commissioner Vaughan is satisfied with the dollars that are being collected and what they are going towards.
"I'm very pleased with the amount of money we're receiving. Washington County has already received $4.2 million with the impact fees," said Vaughan
Some of the impact fees have gone towards repairing bridges, roof replacements in the elections office, and they have also helped nursing homes.
