The Lumber Heritage Region welcomed Colleen Hanson, Visit Potter-Tioga Visitors Bureau, Rachel Wolfel, North Central PA Regional Planning & Development Commission, Gary Lyons, Pennsylvania Grain Processing and Mark Humburt, Summit Electrical Solutions to its board.
“We are excited to add such a diverse group to our board of directors,” Executive Director Holly Komonczi said. “We needed someone from one of our tourism bureaus to fill a seat and Colleen stepped up. Rachel will be able to keep us up to date on the projects and opportunities at North Central Region Planning.

The Lumber Heritage Region is a 15-county region in North West/North Central Pennsylvania that accentuates the importance of the lumber industry for the past, present and future.
The goal of the heritage region is to market its assets to potential visitors, to serve as a resource to the PA hardwood industry, and to keep the economic impact of the region in the forefront.
