Rapp: More Than $153,000 in Natural Gas Impact Fees Awarded to 65th District

June 24, 2025

WARREN — Rep. Kathy L. Rapp (R-Warren/Crawford/Forest) announced Warren, Forest and Crawford counties will receive a combined $123,000 in impact fees from the natural gas industry. In addition, the municipalities in the 65th Legislative District will receive an additional $30,000. 

Impact fees are levied in addition to regular business taxes paid by every corporation in Pennsylvania. The disbursements were established in 2012 to ensure communities affected by drilling receive their fair share of funding for projects such as road and bridge repairs, housing and other infrastructure needs.

“The natural gas industry gives back to our Commonwealth in so many ways,” Rapp said. “In addition to powering our homes and businesses and creating tens of thousands of jobs, these impact fees provide crucial funds to help out our county and local governments.”
A complete list of disbursements to counties and municipalities is available on the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission’s website at puc.state.pa.us.
