While being credited by many as a major new economic engine for Pennsylvania, Marcellus Shale gas-development so far may not be having much of an effect on the finances of local municipalities, according to a study by two researchers in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences. Michael Jacobson, associate professor of forest resources, and Tim Kelsey, professor of agricultural economics, examined how gas drilling and production activities are affecting municipal government and services in two rural counties where they are occurring. They examined a decade of revenue and expenditure data from more than three dozen townships in Washington and Susquehanna counties, all of which are experiencing significant Marcellus Shale activity.
