Capito, Manchin Highlight Benefits of Appalachian Storage Hub in Letter to National Economic Council

Press Release

U.S. Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) sent a letter to the Director of the National Economic Council, Gary Cohn, encouraging him to examine the benefits of the development and construction of the Appalachian Storage Hub, a world class natural gas liquid storage and distribution hub in the Appalachian region.

The Senators said in part: "The Appalachian Storage Hub is a vital American infrastructure project that would enhance energy and national security while leveraging the region's unique energy resources for the long-term economic benefit of families, manufacturers, and communities in nearby states and across the nation. An abundance of wet natural gas in the Marcellus, Utica and Rogersville shale formations has recently resulted in significant announcements of new investment in the Appalachian region, particularly by the petrochemical industry."
