Perry Innovation Park, the business campus in Penn Twp., could get what’s known as a natural gas “virtual pipeline” after its newest business agreed to install natural gas for its uses next year.
SEDA-Council of Governments (SEDA-COG), a regional organization that assists with grants and other initiatives, announced last week that Frontier Natural Resources will soon provide liquified natural gas to PA Options for Wellness, the medical marijuana company that has a production facility at the business park.
