According to Questar Pipeline President Nick Rose, building the pipeline will help meet the expanding expand-ing needs of Utah customers while providing greater access to additional addi-tional low-cost supplies. The demand for affordable natural gas continues to grow during this cold winter season and year-round because of its environmental benefits, bene-fits, reliability and efficiency," Rose said. In addition to the natural gas pipeline's obvious benefits, it has provided less noticeable gains to 'communities along the pipeline route. The construction project generated gen-erated one-time use taxes of about $1.3 million. Roughly another $400,000 in annual property taxes will flow to area counties and the state. tf skilled nax&m a-nrl mialiCr C 1;f ij available on campus ide Wind: V MeeU. CO AlUl v vxxni j |
