HARRISBURG – Rep. Joanne Stehr (R-Northumberland/Schuylkill) will host an informational open house event for constituents on the PPL Sunbury-Frackville 230 kV Power Line Project. The event will be held Thursday, April 23, from 6-8 p.m. at the Mahantongo Fire Company, 102 Main Road, Pitman.

The open house is an opportunity for 107th District residents to learn more about the project and speak directly with representatives from PPL Electric Utilities.
