Grimm Krupa: Nearly $949,000 in Natural Gas Impact Fees for 51st District

June 23, 2025

SMITHFIELD – Rep. Charity Grimm Krupa (R-Fayette) announced today Fayette County will receive more than $608,000 in impact fees from the natural gas industry. In addition, the municipalities in the 51st Legislative District will receive an additional sum of nearly $341,000.
 
Impact fees are levied in addition to regular business taxes paid by every corporation in Pennsylvania. The disbursements were established in 2012 to ensure communities affected by drilling receive their fair share of funding for projects such as road and bridge repairs, housing and other infrastructure needs.

“Impact fees are a win-win,” Grimm Krupa said. “The natural gas industry taps into our plentiful resources, then shares the wealth with the communities in which the wells are located. Not only does natural gas power our communities, but the impact fees can also be used to make our communities a better place.”

A complete list of disbursements to counties and municipalities is available on the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission’s website at puc.state.pa.us.
