Austin A. Davis 35th Lieutenant Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania | Pennsylvania Department Of Education
Governor Josh Shapiro is set to visit Penn England Farms on March 26, 2025, to promote a significant part of his energy initiative called the Lightning Plan. This plan aims to reduce energy costs for agricultural producers and rural communities by allowing Pennsylvanians to share energy resources collectively. An example of this approach includes farmers using a methane digester together.
The event will feature Governor Shapiro alongside Secretary Russell Redding from the Department of Agriculture, Mark Heeter from the Blair County Farm Bureau, Steven McKnight from the Blair County Alliance for Business & Economic Growth, and Yvette Longenecker from Penn-England Farms.
The visit is scheduled for 11:30 AM at Penn England Farms located at 10290 Fox Run Road, Williamsburg, PA. The event will be available via live stream on pacast.com/live/gov and governor.pa.gov/live/.
