Calais LNG

Phil from Maine · 06-25-2010, 02:55 AM

I have been requested to testify for the upcoming DEP hearing of the Calais LNG plant proposal.. I am quite excited about this this project. This is the last step to getting all the permits to build the plant. I was told this will take 5 years to build and employ roughly 1000 people at the peak of construction. With times being so bad every where I certainly have my hopes up.

I had to do a Jurat and give a pretestimony statement prior to being selected. I barely made the deadline for the Jurat to get put in. With all my trips back and fourth to Augusta this past year and a half people have reconized my work on this worth while project. If everything goes good the permits should be ready by the first of this year. That will mean breaking ground the first part of spring. The hearings will take place in July so please wish us luck up here..

Phil: Good luck to you and good luck to all the folks in that area of Maine.

Thank you! It will not only be good for here but hopefully the entire northeast as well. We are strongly trying to create a power corridor that can carry the forcasted demand well into the future.
