PA State Rep. Milou Mackenzie

I am pleased to announce Lehigh, Montgomery and Northampton counties will receive a combined $1.6 million in natural gas impact fee funding through Pennsylvania’s Act 13 program for the 2025 reporting year.

Montgomery County will receive $893,637, Lehigh County will receive $391,992 and Northampton County will receive $328,2960 through the Act 13 impact fee program, which distributes fees generated by natural gas development to local communities.

This funding continues to provide meaningful support for our communities. These resources help improve infrastructure, support environmental initiatives and enhance quality of life for residents across the region.

The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) announced the statewide distribution of $243.8 million collected from natural gas producers under Act 13 of 2012, which directs revenue to counties, municipalities and state programs for infrastructure improvements, environmental initiatives and other community priorities.
