HARRISBURG — Representatives from American Refining Group Inc. have announced the company is once again a finalist for the 2015 Pennsylvania Governor’s ImPAct Awards in the Community ImPAct category.

While GKN Sinter Metals of Emporium took home the award in 2014, ARG was a finalist that year as well. ARG was nominated in the same division this year. The North Central Partnerships for Regional Economic Performance (P.R.E.P.) region submitted ARG’s recommendation. P.R.E.P. is a statewide network of partners that works to regionalize and coordinate local economic-development services to businesses and entrepreneurs.

The Community ImPAct award is ultimately “given to a company that exemplifies the tenet of “doing well by doing good.” The winners in this category show a sustained commitment to the growth and development of its employees and the communities in which it does business. All businesses nominated are being recognized for “creating jobs that pay” and their economic impact in the Commonwealth.

ImPAct Awards are also given in other categories, including entrepreneur, export, jobs that pay and small business. For more information and a complete list of nominees, visit the website newpa.com/gia. The winners in each division will be announced at an awards luncheon to be held on May 21 in Hershey.
