Pennsylvania is sitting on top of a giant economic engine.
Is your business or community poised to profit?
The hottest natural gas boom in the world is right here. The Marcellus shale formation is driving energy firms to Pennsylvania, and the influx of dollars is creating significant business opportunities with natural gas and service companies, supporting businesses and worker spending. Plus, the spending from lease and royalty payments promises to ripple through our economy for years to come.
Is your business or community poised to profit from gas boom activity?
Turn “no” into “yes.” Join other local businesses and communities for a five-part Webinar series presented by local partners and Penn State Extension education. Get valuable information and insights that will help you understand, explore and take advantage of business opportunities arising from the Marcellus shale.
Convenient early bird sessions start before your business day begins.
Sessions are scheduled for 8:00 to 9:30 a.m. on October 14, 21 and 28; and November 4 and 10.
Topics*
- Economic Implications of the Marcellus Shale
- Identifying Local Business Opportunities
- Success Stories

- Your Business Working with Others
* In the order they will be presented
Learn from the experts.
Penn State Extension conducted the first Marcellus educational training workshops in 2001—long before the Marcellus shale potential was fully recognized. Since then, we’ve been working with landowners, state agencies, local governments and local government associations, environmental groups, workforce development groups, and others.
Our only goal is to provide fact-based information to help Pennsylvanians make informed decisions.
Don’t miss out!
Marcellus shale development is expected to create 98,000 Pennsylvania jobs by 2010 and pump $14.17 billion into our state’s economy, according to a recent study.
