The Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay will hold its first Sustainable Business Summit on September 4 at the Lancaster Chamber Building, 115 E. King Street in Lancaster from Noon to 5:00 p.m.

The Summit will showcase the Turkey Hill Clean Water Partnership and celebrate the sustainability accomplishments of local businesses like Hershey.

The Turkey Hill Clean Water Partnership sparked from ideas discussed at a Businesses for the Bay Forum in 2016, and is a collaborative effort coordinated by the Alliance, in partnership with Turkey Hill, and Maryland and Virginia Milk Producers Cooperative Association.

Through the Turkey Hill Clean Water Partnership, Turkey Hill will take momentous strides towards cleaning up local water quality in the Lancaster area by providing incentives for local dairy farmers to use a conservation plan on their property.
