TESTIMONIALS
"Our business has been a win-win-win situation for everyone involved. We have cleaned Erie County's environment, helped Erie County create a new source of income from their methane gas, and provided renewable energy to the cities of Painesville, Milan and Oberlin at a competitive price. We want to thank the Port Authority for helping us produce something useful from something that was polluting. Because of their help, we were able to turn a liability into an asset for Erie County."
