Central Jersey pipeline: Transco protests continue as state asks feds for permit extension

May 19, 2018

n addition to savings and profits for National Grid, the pipeline enhancement would generate 3,186 jobs during the one-year construction period in Central Jersey, as well as Pennsylvania and New York, resulting in an $327.2 million increase in economic activity in the project area. This is according to an economic impact analysis conducted by Rutgers University’s Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Williams’ request.

Employment would be generated across construction, engineering, management, manufacturing and wholesale sectors, which, in turn, would generate indirect employment in other industries.
