Every year, thousands of people visit the Farm Show Complex and Expo Center in Harrisburg, but few of them realize how the water collected by the 24 acres of roofs on buildings housing the Farm Show is being reused inside the complex.

A new video by GreenTreks shows how the complex employs a variety of techniques to keep polluted runoff out of the Paxton Creek which flows into the Susquehanna and ultimately into the Chesapeake Bay.

The savings from the lower water and sewer bills will actually surpass the initial investment over time.

“Simply put,” says Executive Director Patrick Kerwin, “the greening effort at the Complex makes good business sense.”
