For decades, Questar has been helping local energy producers process and deliver Utah's abundant supplies of efficient and environmentally friendly natural gas to customers m Emery and Carbon counties as well as growing communities along the Wasatch Front. At the same time, we've created jobs, paid state and local taxes, and worked to be part of communities m our operating areas Now, we are gearing up to do more We plan to spend an estimated S500 million in 2001, much of it in Utah.
