Members of the Chamber’s advocacy committee, along with local business leaders and some regional environmental partners, recently met with Patrick McDonald, Secretary of Pennsylvania’s Department of Environmental Protection, and several of his staff members, at Drake Well Museum in Titusville.

Discussions centered around some potential problems that our member businesses and other businesses in the area might be facing with various interactions with the DEP, and ways that we can help our membership be more informed about how to navigate the permitting process and their necessary interactions with the DEP. Valuable insight was gained into how we can assist our members to make their interactions as quick and easy as possible.
