Local and state government officials are excited about the news of the natural gas power plant coming to Homer City. (Read earlier story here.)
State Senator Joe Pittman said the financial impact on the region would be huge.
Indiana County Commissioners Chairman Mike Keith called the development a “dream come true” and that it will help Indiana County grow.
Mark Hilliard of the Indiana County Chamber also talked about the massive impact the project would have.
Construction in Homer City could start later this year. The first of seven turbines from GE Vernova is expected to arrive next year, and the plant is expected to begin producing power by 2027.
