Emissions testing is scheduled to be coming to a garage near you.

That's the message the Mercer County Garage Association will put out to county residents during their annual dinner June 10 at the Zem Zem Shrine grounds on Lamor Road in Hermitage.

Mercer County will have to comply with emissions testing because of a lawsuit brought by an environmental group against the state Department of Environmental Protection and the Department of Transportation. The court ruling against PennDOT and DEP requires 16 counties -- including Mercer -- to begin testing auto emissions. Nine counties in and around Pittsburgh and Philadelphia already require testing.
