The Washington County Chamber of Commerce and the Southpointe CEO Association sponsored a panel discussion featuring the Grow America’s Infrastructure Now Coalition. The group advocates the construction of underground pipelines to transport natural gas to areas of the country that would use the gas or to deliver it to facilities to ship elsewhere in the United States or overseas. GAIN Strategic Advisor Brigham McCown spoke to the safety advantages of pipeline delivery. GAIN Spokesperson Craig Stevens expressed the need to communicate effectively the needs and efficiencies of underground pipelines. Also on the panel, former Chester County state Senator Earl Baker described how the Mariner Pipeline running across Pennsylvania can provide a dual purpose solution for immediate needs for people in Johnstown and also delivery to export facilities in Marcus Hook, PA. Locally, state Senator Camera Bartolotta expressed the needs of this infrastructure investment so that possible ethane storage facilities currently under study in Greene County may come about.
