- the information and programs needed to educate the community about the industry,
- provide local businesses with information on how to do business with oil and gas companies,
- present information on natural gas vehicles and the effects of CNG and LNG on the transportation industry,
- facilitate programs to provide information about the proposed the Cracker Plant and what it will mean to manufacturing in PA,
