This Wednesday, the City of Philadelphia announced the dates for the recently formed PES Refinery Advisory Group’s first three public meetings.
The Advisory Group was first formed after the June 21st fire at the Philadelphia Energy Solutions (PES) refinery. Philadelphia Mayor Kenney called for the convening of an advisory group of stakeholders with diverse experience, knowledge, and perspectives on the refinery site and operations to better inform how the city government should approach the future use of the site.
Specifically, the group will advise City leaders on how the closure of the PES facility will impact the economy, environment, public health, and safety of Philadelphia and its residents.
Additional meetings beyond the first three will be scheduled and announced in the weeks ahead. Future meeting dates and locations, as well as informational updates about the work of the Refinery Advisory Group, will be made available at www.phila.gov/refinery.
All three of these meetings are open to the public and will be held at Preparatory Charter School (1928 Point Breeze Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19145)
Registration is not required, but community members who plan to attend are encouraged to RSVP by emailing refinery@phila.gov.
Members of the public who are interested in presenting at one of these three meetings are strongly encouraged to register in advance at the same email address above.
