Argall Resolution to Study Jobs and Economic Impact of
Breweries in PA Approved by Committee
HARRISBURG – The Senate Law
and Justice Committee unanimously passed a resolution today sponsored by Senator
David G. Argall (R-29) to study the economic impacts of breweries in
Pennsylvania.
Senate Resolution 216 will thoroughly examine the economic impacts, with a
focus on jobs, of breweries in Pennsylvania through the General Assembly's
Legislative Budget and Finance Committee.
"In an effort to continue to
identify areas of potential job growth in our state, this study will identify
ways we can assist our state's brewery industry," said Argall, who has met with
local Yuengling Brewery officials several times in order to discuss job
creation. "We need to examine all industries in Pennsylvania as a way to find
employment opportunities and determine how we can help to create a strong
pro-jobs economic climate."
Senate Resolution 216 now
moves to the Senate Floor for consideration. |
