Bradford County to Impose Gas Fee

Submitted by WNEP Web Staff

Bradford County has more natural gas drilling sites than any other county in the state right now.

It is up to county commissioners to decide whether or not to impose the impact fee on gas drillers.

Bradford County’s two Republican commissioners were planning to vote no until nearly all the townships and boroughs indicated they wanted the money.

That means they could override the commissioners, so instead of a battle everyone decided to work together.

There was not any fanfare or smiles even when Bradford County commissioners voted unanimously to impose an impact fee on natural gas drillers.

Bradford County stands to get millions of dollars for the hundreds of producing gas wells that have dotted the landscape since 2005.

“We don’t know how much we’re going to get, how long it’s going to last, how much each of the out years is going to be,” said Commissioner Daryl Miller.

Bradford County Commissioners To Vote “Yes” on Impact Fee

Bradford County commissioners confirm they plan to impose an impact fee on natural gas drillers in the county.

Because Bradford County has the most drilling sites in the state, this decision is being closely watched.

The two Republican commissioners, the majority, said they still don’t like the impact fee, even though they will vote for it at Thursday’s meeting in Towanda.

Bradford County leaders said they have the most drilled gas sites in the state and it’s clear the industry intends to keep growing here.

Soon many residents will enjoy the profits of that growth.

“Unless you live in Bradford County or come here, you don’t understand everything the gas industry has done for us,” said Commission Chairman Doug McLinko. “Hundreds of millions of dollars in our roads, we’re not talking repairs, we’re talking re-builds, they put our people to work.”
