Former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett was honored at the Bradford County Public Safety Center this week for his work in creating the Act 13 Natural Gas Impact Fee.
According to the Bradford Sentinel, the Bradford County Commissioners, State Treasurer Stacy Garrity and Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday were all on hand to honor Corbett.
Corbett signed Act 13 into law back in 2012 and since then Bradford County and local municipalities have received millions of dollars for projects over the last decade.
The impact fee has helped fund the construction of the Bradford County Public Safety Center, a new roof at the county courthouse, an inclusive playground at Hornbrook Park as well as helping Sayre Borough with its downtown revitalization project.
In total, Bradford County has received $74 million and local townships and boroughs have received nearly $130 million from the impact fee since 2012.
