Senatorial Plant Tour
O
n July 18, the NWPCA public affairs
team, Jason Ortega and Gabriella
Ybarra, traveled to Beaver Springs,
Pennsylvania, to support Remmey -
e Pallet Company as they hosted
Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey on
his first visit to a pallet manufacturing
facility. Senator Casey saw firsthand the
critical role that the industry plays in
the supply chain. He also saw Remmey's
1.5-megawatt solar system, partially
funded by a USDA Rural Energy Access
Program grant. e system will power their
facility and send excess power to the grid.
