On Thursday, July 29, from 7:00–8:30 p.m., Councilman Patrick Dowd’s office will be hosting a panel discussion at the Teamsters Temple in Lawrenceville regarding Marcellus Shale drilling and its impact on the urban environment. Doors open at 6:30 for community members and leaders to explore and discover information at a variety of organizational tables.

To date, almost 60 property owners in District 7 have signed away the mineral rights to their properties to Marcellus Shale drillers. Councilman Dowd’s office is responding by creating legislation that will respect the rights of property owners and businesses while protecting our valuable City resources including waterways, riverfronts, street infrastructure and the health and well-being of community members.

Should you have any further questions, please contact Councilman Dowd or his staff at 412.255.2140 or district7@city.pittsburgh.pa.us.
