TOWANDA - Bradford County and approximately a dozen other counties across the United States are establishing an association that will advocate for the safe and responsible development of natural gas, the chairman of the Bradford County commissioners said.

Increasing the production of natural gas and oil in the United States will accelerate the economic recovery, and the safe and responsible development of natural gas and oil "is critical to powering our nation's future," the Bradford County Commissioners wrote in a resolution that they plan to pass today, which will make Bradford County a member of the association.

There is "a lot of excitement" in counties across the United States about the association, which will give counties where oil and gas is produced a national voice on oil- or gas-related issues, said Doug McLinko, chairman of the Bradford County commissioners.
