Why did Tenaska select the site in South Huntingdon Township for its facility?
The key factors in selecting a site for this kind of natural gas-fueled plant are access to natural gas pipelines, transmission corridors and a reliable supply of water. Because these assets are present in South Huntingdon Township, Westmoreland County stands to receive significant benefits. Whether through increased property tax revenue or in-lieu-of-taxes revenue, more funds should be available to support schools and emergency and safety services and deliver a host of other advantages.
