April 20 Environmental Issues Forum Features Chesapeake Bay Foundation-PA

The April 20 “Earth Day” Environmental Issues Forum hosted by the Joint Legislative Air and Water Pollution Control and Conservation Committee will feature a presentation by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.

The CBF recently conducted an innovative, peer-reviewed study on the economic benefit associated with reducing pollution levels in the bay. According to the report, full implementation of the federal government’s Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint could result in a $22.5 billion dollar increase in annual economic benefit for the six states that comprise the bay region, including Pennsylvania.

Spencer Phillips, an economist with Key-Log Economics, along with Harry Campbell, Director Of CBF’s Pennsylvania Office, Lee Ann Murray, Assistant Director, Amanda John, CBF-PA Outreach & Advocacy Manager.

The Forum will be in Room 8E-A East Wing of the Capital starting at Noon.

Sen. Scott Hutchinson (R-Venango) serves as Chair of the Committee.
