A total of 150 local businesses were given a platform to network and make many valuable connections with the Marcellus Shale Exploration industry during the Central Susquehanna Gas and Oil Expo last month. Matt Henderson, SBDC business consultant, was one of the main organizers of the event along with collaborative efforts from the Independent Oil and Gas Associations, the Williamsport/Lycoming Chamber of Commerce and the Penn State Cooperative Extension. Their efforts put together an expo which over 1,000 people attended. The expo allowed them to promote the benefits and employment opportunities projected to boost the local economy within the next 10 years.
