Last week, for the first time in Susquehanna County’s history, landowners there were given the ability to utilize a natural resource they have been developing in the area for years. Through the efforts of Leatherstocking Gas Company, natural gas is now being used at Pennsy Supply in Montrose to make asphalt. I had the opportunity to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony where representatives from Williams Midstream and Cabot Oil and Gas were also present. Others in attendance included State Representative Tina Pickett and State Senator Gene Yaw.

Leatherstocking is a gas distribution company comprised of a partnership between Corning Natural Gas Corporation and Mirabito Energy Services. They normally conduct business in New York servicing urban markets such as Binghamton, Utica, Syracuse, Oneonta and Albany, but the company viewed the Susquehanna County market as a place where they could expand and continue to meet their business objectives:
