Federal PA lawmakers, energy & industry leaders tackle rural growth, workforce development

Several Republican congressional members representing the commonwealth joined fellow state lawmakers, federal officials, and industry leaders to brainstorm how to align federal policy with regional models during a wide-ranging July 30 roundtable focused on energy, manufacturing, and workforce development in rural Pennsylvania.

“Today’s dialogue is part of ensuring that federal policy helps — rather than hinders — that momentum by reinforcing local strengths, removing bureaucratic barriers, and supporting the industries that power our economy,” said U.S. Rep. Dan Meuser (PA-09) on Wednesday.
