Bradford County PA gets new Chesapeake man camp

November 20, 2010 By TXsharon

I met some folks from Bradford County today. You might recall that Bradford County has been mentioned a time or two on this blog.

Now CHK has installed a new man camp in Bradford that can hold 280 roughnecks.

…the Oklahoma City-based driller built a $7 million residential complex and training center that company officials hope will help ease the housing crunch.

A shortage on housing has driven rental prices up so high that lower income families have been priced out. But, despite the mantra of “jobs, jobs, jobs,” most of the workers needing rentals are from out-of-state.

    Wow, that's really a deluxe man camp. In Arkansas, the out of state workers that are filling our "jobs, jobs, jobs" live in a modern day Shanty town of RV's. It's swell having neighbors like that!

    Every town needs a man camp. It's the American way and your patriotic duty to support all man camps where they are keeping us safer by making us energy independent.
