VISION & MISSION

In 1992, EC began as a great experiment to “solve human and environmental problems” through developing creative, institutional, scientific, and technical mechanisms to improve the quality of life in northeastern PA. As an organization, we’ve refined that mission over the years. See where we stand today.
