Of those still living in hotels, apartments\/condos or rented houses, 40% plan on purchasing a home.&nbsp; When it comes time to purchase their homes, four bedrooms is the first preference (63%) followed by those with three bedrooms (38%).&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tThe permanency of the gas workers moving into the area is best summarized by Doug McWhorter, General Manager, ROC Service Company, &ldquo;The Marcellus Shale natural gas is for real.&nbsp; I plan on being in Pennsylvania for 10 or 15 year and I&rsquo;m going retire in Pennsylvania.&rdquo;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t2.&nbsp;What are they looking for when it comes to shopping?<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tAs more and more workers and their spouses settle down in the Marcellus Shale region, they would like to see more upscale stores in general (59%), Mexican food stores (55%), more home d&eacute;cor and furniture stores (48%), more fashionable women&rsquo;s stores (44%), boot stores (37%) and western wear stores (30%).<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t3.&nbsp;What is their favorite cuisine?<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tWhen dining out, their overwhelming choice is Mexican (90%) -- and after Mexican there are number of other favorite cuisines Italian (48%), Southern Cooking (42%), Thai (32%), and Japanese (29%).&nbsp; These dining out preference demonstrated a sophisticated palate that prefers spicier foods.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t4.&nbsp;What are the most popular leisure time activities?<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tWith very sophisticated palates, the respondents selected dining out as their number one activity (93%), followed closely by sightseeing (87%).&nbsp; Other activities include going to the movies (70%), watching TV (68%), attending sports events (50%), fishing (40%), and hunting (30%).&nbsp; Many of the individuals lead active lifestyles.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t<br \/>\r\n\t5.&nbsp;Who were the participants?<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tThe participants consisted 74% men and 26% women with age ranges of 21-24 years old (10%), 25-34 years old (29%), 35-44 years old (23%), 45-54 (19%), and 55-64 (19%).&nbsp; Most of the respondents are married (67%).&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tThe income levels of the participants are much higher than the average salaries in the local areas where they are working and living.&nbsp; The income ranges are $50,000 to $100,000 (48%), $100,000 to $150,000 (34%), $150,000 to $200,000 (14%) and over $200,000 (3%).&nbsp; Over 80% percent of the respondents had schooling beyond high school which include some college (45%), a college degree (29%) or an advanced degree (7%).<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tWhen asked, &ldquo;What is the one thing that could make your adjustment to living in Pennsylvania easier?&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp; number of respondents commented on &ldquo; better shopping hours&rdquo; and &ldquo;better housing.&rdquo;&nbsp; Another perspective shared by respondents is best captured in this comment, &ldquo;I have traveled and worked all over the world. Williamsport is the 27th place that I have lived in my life. Having 35 years in the Oil &amp; Gas industry I have worked in a lot of places, some good and some not so good.

He believes these well-paid professionals from the natural gas industry, who are relocating to the region in growing numbers, as well as their families and an expanding supply chain, represent tremendous opportunities for many local companies to capture new customers.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tToward this end, Barone is operating an online directory called PAGasDirectory.com with more than 116,000 Pennsylvania businesses organized on a county-by-county basis. The goal is to connect gas companies, drillers and their families with eager vendors.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tBarone, who is a veteran of the advertising industry, explains that the gas drillers are generally from remote parts of United States. Most have been active in the gas recovery industry for years, and, as drilling increases into the Marcellus Shale growing numbers of these families will be relocating here.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tAccording to Barone, drilling jobs are strenuous. The workers typically endure 12-hour shifts for many weeks while drilling continues. Inclement weather and exhaustion can be the norm.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tOverall, Barone has been impressed with the fiber of this group.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&ldquo;Current predictions call for 160,000 to 175,000 more people to be employed here by 2020, and we&rsquo;re already meeting such interesting people,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;The drillers are usually very direct and have no hidden agendas. As a group, they stand by their word.&rdquo;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tHealthy wages<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tBarone conducted a survey of gas drilling personnel and found that the annual salaries for these workers are impressive. According to his research, 48 percent of the gas workers earn upwards of $50,000, with 35 percent earning $100,000 to $150,000, and 14 percent $150,000 to $200,000. The remainder earn above $200,000.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tThe categories of business that can now be exploited within the gas supply chain include truck drivers to haul water and sand needed in the drilling process, as well as suppliers of various types of hoses. Opportunities also exist for maintenance specialists who can free stuck drill bits. &ldquo;For these drillers, time is money,&rdquo; says Barone.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t<br \/>\r\n\tCommercial real estate sales are also healthy, encompassing all classes of land, office and warehouse space. On the residential front, typical housing demand is for homes of new or recent construction with four bedrooms and two baths.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tBarone says that numerous homes like this are not plentiful in the Northern Tier, and he has witnessed old homes being purchased, demolished and new homes erected in their places. Other gas workers have found homes in more populated areas such as Danville, Lewisburg, and State College, and commute from there.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&ldquo;These people have relocated from the western United States and they have always accepted driving several hours each way to a destination,&rdquo; says Barone.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tBarone also reports that many consumer products and services are in demand by the gas workers, creating strong business opportunities. These include family health care, financial services, home d&eacute;cor and furniture, fashionable women&rsquo;s wear, and western attire such as cowboy boots.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tAn area of specialized demand, according to Barone, is air transport to the shale areas.<br \/>\r\n\t&ldquo;It&rsquo;s common to hear these gas workers say how terrible air transport is in their areas,&rdquo; says Barone.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tBarone comments that the biggest consumer item in demand by the gas workers is authentic Mexican food. He points out that virtually none of this kind of cuisine is available in the counties of Bradford, Tioga, or Susquehanna.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&ldquo;Whoever opens a great Mexican restaurant here will practically be able to print money because the demand is that great,&rdquo; adds Barone. &ldquo;Supermarket expansion of the items needed to prepare these foods at home is also needed.&rdquo;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tManufacturing demand<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tKathryn Klaber, president and executive director of the Marcellus Shale Coalition, calls attention to the manufacturing demand now being created in the shale fields. She points out that companies such as U.S. Steel are now making large pipes used for well casings, and that huge demands for gas pipeline sections will soon follow.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tThe Norfolk Southern Railroad is hauling large amounts of sand, aggregate and steel, and heavy equipment needs at the drilling sites are growing. Job opportunities include rising demand for permit engineers, consultants, and attorneys, plus landscaping, environmental and compliance professionals.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&ldquo;We need to think of each gas well as a $4 million to $5 million construction site,&rdquo; says Klaber.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tDave Danneker, president of A.M. Metal Specialties, operates fabrication and installation shops in Williamsport and South Williamsport. The company specializes in products such as industrial ventilation components, tanks and chambers.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tAccording to Danneker, his company has been able to capture some business within the gas supply chain. He says these drillers regularly need metal fabrications, storage tank pipes and tap installations, and in response to this demand he has added an employee with appropriate American Petroleum Institute welding certification.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tHe has found the gas workers to be up-front in their professional expectations.<br \/>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&ldquo;To do business with the drillers, you need to display persistence and really hound them,&rdquo; says Danneker. &ldquo;You also have to accept that new business will be slow in unfolding, and when the door opens you must prove that you are genuinely reliable.&rdquo;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tBooming real estate<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tBrent M. Fish, agent and general appraiser with Fish Real Estate in Williamsport, has been exploiting gas-related opportunities in both commercial and residential real estate.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tHe says the regional commercial market has grown very busy, and his company has now leased the majority of their industrial inventory. Only pockets of space now exist with demand still strong for shop-type metal buildings that also include office space.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&ldquo;At last count, more than 50 new companies are operating in Lycoming County or its immediate boundaries,&rdquo; says Fish.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tOn the residential front, Fish has found that the majority of gas personnel are renters, and many of these people are trial workers. Others may own another home in a remote part of the country, but have been unable to sell it due to the slump in the housing market there.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&ldquo;These families must wait to buy here, and this scenario demonstrates the regional effects of the national housing slump even though the market here is healthy,&rdquo; explains Fish. &ldquo;I believe we will eventually see a gradual increase in the number of home buyers.&rdquo;<br \/>\r\n\tFish emphasizes that the establishment of relationships is important in doing business with the gas workers. He urges regional business managers to take the time to understand how the business models of the drillers operate and then fill the available niches.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&ldquo;As an example, it&rsquo;s a fact that drilling work is good paying with strong benefits, but the work itself has long and difficult hours,&rdquo; says Fish. &ldquo;For a salesperson, evening calls are vital. We cannot have an 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. mind set.&rdquo;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tEd Barone, investment advisor representative with Barone Trusted Services, confirms that the families of the gas workers with who he has dealt have a desire to establish relationships with local businesses. These include hair stylists, physicians, and financial services ranging from life insurance to investment and IRA accounts.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tHe agrees that as a group the gas workers are very open and straightforward, and that sellers to this group need flexibility in their business model. Additionally, it is important to understand that many of these people are aware that they are outsiders to the northern tier and its culture, and they therefore appreciate when a vendor openly greets them and gives them a business card.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&ldquo;These people are aware of the bad press their industry has received and therefore can be reticent,&rdquo; say Ed Barone. &ldquo;We must almost go out of our way talk to them. They also will not stand for any price gouging.&rdquo;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tRising deposits<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tCharles H. Updegraff, Jr., president and CEO of Citizens and Northern Bank, says his organization is enjoying increases in direct deposit checking as increasing numbers of the gas workers utilize local financial services. Overall bank deposits are on the rise, and business at motels, restaurants, convenience stores, and rental companies is booming.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tWarehouse space in Bradford County has become tight and many gas companies are willing to pay rents above normal regional levels. One-year leases for this space are common.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tUpdegraff also notes that the Mansfield area is experiencing a &ldquo;push and pull&rdquo; in the residential housing market as both gas workers and college students vie for the same space.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&ldquo;Many area motels are at 100 percent occupancy,&rdquo; says Updegraff. &ldquo;I know of one motel that&rsquo;s booked solid for one full year.&rdquo;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tUpdegraff also has witnessed the predictable cultural clash that is taking place between the gas workers from Texas and Oklahoma and the traditional residents of the northern tier. Despite this conflict, Troy and Towanda are being transformed into commercial centers.<br \/>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&ldquo;The gas businesses is so big it will undoubtedly trump outdoor tourism and transform this area,&rdquo; says Updegraff.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tHe also warns that an ongoing economic boom for the Marcellus Shale region is not a &ldquo;done deal&rdquo; and that many people are taking the huge financial predictions surrounding the gas industry with a grain of salt.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&ldquo;The industry could find better gas fields and leave, or gas prices could drop . . . this would really hurt development of the shale.&quot;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biz570.com\/energy\/northern-tier-gas-drillers-still-an-under-served-market-1.826878\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Click Here<\/strong><\/a> to read the article on BIZ570.Com.<br \/>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n","page_title_Testimonials":"Testimonials","page_content_Testimonials":"<p>\r\n\t<img alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pagasdirectory.com\/uploads\/Weatherford_Testimonial.jpg\" \/><\/p>\r\n","page_title_PR06032010":"PR06032010","page_content_PR06032010":"<p>\r\n\t<span style=\"font-size: 16px\"><strong>Temporary workers cause rental prices to more than double<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n<div>\r\n\tThursday, June 3, 2010<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tBy Kim Shindle<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t<em>This is the second article in a two-part series about the Marcellus Shale development in Pennsylvania.<\/em><\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tThe huge influx of Marcellus Shale workers into northeastern Pennsylvania has driven rental prices through the roof and is changing the landscape of numerous communities.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&ldquo;It&rsquo;s still early in the process but already we&rsquo;ve seen a fairly dramatic impact in a lot of areas like local rentals, housing availability and hotel rentals,&rdquo; said Dr. Timothy Kelsey, state program leader in economic and community development for the Penn State Cooperative Extension.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tBradford, Sullivan, Susquehanna and Tioga counties have seen some of the greatest activity. &ldquo;Hotels are full,&rdquo; Kelsey said. &ldquo;Rental prices in some of these locations have tripled in the last year or so because so many people are moving in.&rdquo;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tSome owners have taken their houses off the market and are now renting them. Bill Them of Century 21 Jackson Real Estate in Wysox said, &ldquo;Houses that rented for $300 to $400 a month now rent for $1,000 to $2,000 a month. As a result, we&rsquo;re seeing local people who can&rsquo;t afford to pay the rent and are being forced to move.&rdquo;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tKelsey said the development has changed property values in areas of the Commonwealth. &ldquo;In the southwestern part of the state, there&rsquo;s some concern about property values lowering but in the northeastern tier, we&rsquo;ve seen an increase,&rdquo; he explained.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tRobin Fiester of Robin Real Estate in Eagles Mere said she&rsquo;s seeing rentals skyrocket in price and demand is ever increasing. She recently testified at a state Senate Hearing at the request of Sen. Gene Yaw (R-Bradford) regarding the high demand for rental housing in these counties.&ldquo;Bradford and Sullivan counties don&rsquo;t have enough hotels to fill the needs for temporary housing so some workers are traveling to Lycoming County to find a place to stay,&rdquo; she said.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tKelsey agreed that the influx of more workers will create new challenges. &ldquo;The temporary workforce is a great situation for landlords and hotels, however, it will be more difficult for local people to buy a home.

The gas workers utilize the site for professional and personal reasons.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&quot;Most of the people who are working at the gas drilling sites now are from out-of-state because they know this industry so well. It will take time for workers from this area to become trained in these positions,&quot; said Joe Barone, PAGas Directory President.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&quot;They need to know where to shop, where to eat, and where to find entertainment. The directory can inform them about a Mom and Pop shop or restaurant they would never find without such a resource. Some of these gas-drilling jobs are in small towns. If businesses in those little towns were in the directory, the out-of-state workers could access that information through their blackberry, smart phone or laptop-all vital sources of communication for them.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\tAt a recent Gas Expo, Barone said the PA Gas Directory encouraged key businesses like Range Resources and Chesa-peake Energy to include the PA Gas Directory link on their corporate website, making the site even more visible and accessible.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&quot;We have an ongoing, aggressive program to reach gas workers and let them know we are available to them.&quot; Barone achieved from the out-of state workers a clear understanding of what assets they feel the Washington County area has to offer as well as what types of businesses they feel the area lacks through an April survey completed by 106 gas workers and their wives.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&quot;Workers on these gas rigs work 12 hour shifts -12 hours on and 12 hours off - for 28 straight days,&quot; said Barone. &quot;That means they might not get off work until 7 p.m. and they need a place to eat&hellip;in small towns, many businesses and restaurants are closed or closing by then. Information provided through the survey will create a win-win situation for everyone. As they come here and adjust to living in Pennsylvania from the southwest, we can accommodate them by knowing more about them and what they are accustomed to.&quot; The survey revealed that the new residents would like to see in this area more Mexican restaurants, more upscale stores and more housing that includes 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms. &quot;In talking to many families, I know that many of them like this area so much that they don&rsquo;t want to go back to Texas. They love the beauty of the area and the people. That means more business for realtors, restaurant owners and a variety of other businesses.&quot; Even though the Marcellus Shale region stretches 95,000 mies through Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York and West Virginia, Washington County is considered to be the &quot;Energy Capital of the East&quot; considering that 50 plus gas and oil companies are located here.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&quot;I encourage all Washington County business owners to include their business name in this directory,&quot; said Barone. &quot;This is not something that is only going to last here for two years and then fizzle. This industry will bring new families here for decades. The pioneers that are here now will spread the word as new folks move here. People will ask, &lsquo;where do you get your hair cut?&rsquo;&lsquo;Who is your dentist?&rsquo;Now is the time to have your name out there.&quot; Business owners who would like to add their name to the directory can log on to <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pagasdirectory.com\">www.pagasdirectory.com<\/a><\/strong> or contact Barone at <strong><a href=\"mailto:jbarone@pagasdirectory.com\">jbarone@pagasdirectory.com<\/a><\/strong>.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.print2webcorp.com\/news\/WashingtonPA\/Businessjournal\/20100527\/p03.asp\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Click Here<\/strong><\/a> to read the article on the Washington County Business Journal website.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\t<br \/>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n","page_title_PR06202010":"PR06202010","page_content_PR06202010":"<p>\r\n\t<span style=\"font-size: 14px\"><strong>Golf tournament to raise money, welcome new industry<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<div>\r\n\tProceeds raised at an upcoming gas industry-sponsored golf tournament and retail reception will benefit local organizations, according to Joseph F.

This article, the second in a series of profiles of local entrepreneurs, describes <strong>PAGasDirectory.com<\/strong> and how its owner created the business after attending one of these Extension programs. We will continue to profile other businesses to demonstrate the pathways by which entrepreneurs identify and pursue opportunities related to natural gas. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\t<span style=\"font-size: 12px\">&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n\tBy Dawn Gannon &amp; Kathy Brasier<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\t<span style=\"font-size: 12px\">While attending one of Penn State Extension&rsquo;s webinar series &ldquo;Your Business &amp; Marcellus Shale,&rdquo; Joe Barone saw the opportunity to connect gas workers coming from out of state with local businesses providing needed services. As a result, Barone developed <strong>PAGasDirectory.com<\/strong>, which points workers in the direction of everything they could need in their new home&mdash;temporary or permanent.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\t<span style=\"font-size: 12px\">To get started, Barone purchased a database of over 116,000 PA businesses which he made available on his website. Workers simply visit the website, select a county, and then browse for the type of business or service they need, be it a laundromat, mechanic, or dentist. With the full support of the gas companies, Barone has seen his business increase dramatically. He says that most companies send out e-mails promoting his website and some even include the web address on their corporate intranets.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\t<span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Barone test-marketed the program in Pennsylvania&#39;s Northern Tier, with Lycoming County the most developed county on the website. However, he says that since its launch on February 15, 2010, the website&rsquo;s traffic has been growing weekly. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\t<span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Businesses can use the free basic listing to promote themselves on <strong>PAGasDirectory.com<\/strong>, or they can upgrade to a gold or platinum listing. A gold upgrade includes a link to the business website, an e-mail link, the business&rsquo;s own logo, and a 128-character description of the business and its services. A platinum listing adds Google maps and a longer business description. About 20 companies have upgraded their listings to date.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\t<span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Barone stresses maintaining the quality of the site and using multiple marketing and advertising techniques. The site is linked to multiple search engines, and receives a strong Google page ranking, indicating it is well linked with other websites. Barone promotes the website with billboard advertising, and during the winter months, with TV advertising on channels likely to be seen by gas workers in hotels, restaurants and bars. One hotel keeps the <strong>PAGasDirectory.com<\/strong> homepage on the monitors in their lobbies to give the workers quick access.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\t<span style=\"font-size: 12px\">The most important idea that Barone wants to convey about his business is that it is a win-win situation for Pennsylvania businesses and for the gas workers and their families. He desires to help business owners understand the needs of gas workers and their families and to make sure workers are aware of the local businesses and what they have to offer. Barone gives most of the credit for getting started in his business to Penn State Extension. &ldquo;Kudos to Penn State Cooperative Extension. We would not have this business if it wasn&rsquo;t for them.&rdquo; <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\t<em><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">For questions about <strong>PAGasDirectory.com<\/strong>, please contact Joe Barone at (610) 764-1232 or at <strong><a href=\"mailto:jbarone@pagasdirectory.com\">jbarone@pagasdirectory.com<\/a><\/strong>.

It has created new well paying jobs for our residents, generated wealth in our community through leasing and increased activity in our business community. In fact, the development of this industry has enabled Washington County to sustain a stable economy despite the economic downturn two years ago. We recognize the opportunities presented to our business community by the natural gas industry and now want to make it easier for our county businesses to do business with the natural gas companies, their employees and families. As these opportunities develop, the Washington County Chamber of Commerce has dedicated itself to increasing business access for our members to our natural gas partners. Companies such as Range Resources, Chesapeake Energy, DPS Penn and others have been extremely willing in exploring local business opportunities with our members. They understand that doing business locally is doing good business. However, the chamber wants to further these connections by serving as a facilitator between the natural gas companies and our local businesses. To accomplish this goal, we have partnered with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pagasdirectory.com\">PAGasDiretory.com<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pagasdirectory.com\">PAGasDirectory.com<\/a> is a leading company in connecting the natural gas industry to local Pennsylvania businesses. It has designed a web site to make it extremely convenient for natural gas companies and their employees to find local businesses in Washington County that want to do business with the industry.
