PROTECT FRANKLIN PARK
The residents of Franklin Park did not want their borough to lease the mineral rights of Linbook Park. The park would have been fracked for a PennEnergy well in Economy. They spoke out and worked with their local officials. The park will not be fracked. They are currently working with their council to improve their existing gas & oil ordinances. They want to maintain their status as one of the most livable communities in the Pittsburgh area.
