PLEASE SUPPORT THE ECONOMIC & ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF THE ADDISON-RUTLAND NATURAL GAS PROJECT
PUBLIC COMMENT HEARING
MAY 7th, 7:00 p.m., Shoreham Elementary School
The Public Service Board has announced a hearing 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, May 7th, 2014 at the Shoreham Elementary School to receive public comments on Phase 2 of the Addison-Rutland Natural Gas Project.
As you know, Phase 2 of the project would extend service from Middlebury to the communities of Cornwall, Shoreham and to the International Paper Mill in Ticonderoga. It is also critical to extending service to Rutland County not later than 2020. In fact, extending natural gas to the International Paper mill in Ticonderoga will save Vermonters $45 million of the cost to deliver natural gas to Rutland County at least 15-years sooner than would otherwise be possible; while significanty strengthening the regional economy and improving regional air quality.
It is imperative that the Public Service Board hear from pro-growth, pro-jobs Vermonters like you who support this project.
I’ve included details on the hearing, a summary of the project and other information you may find helpful in preparing your statement of support.
HEARING OVERVIEW
WHEN: 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, May 7th, 2014
WHERE: Shoreham Elementary School, 130 School Road, Shoreham
FORMAT: Members of the public must signup with PSB staff to speak beginning at 6:30 p.m. Each speaker will be given 2-minutes to make their comments.
The natural gas delivered by the Addison-Rutland Natural Gas Project is safer, cleaner – and about half the cost – of the propane or oil currently used by most Vermonters.
The Addison-Rutland Natural Gas Project will help homeowners and businesses in Addison and Rutland counties cut heating bills by about 50% and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 25%.
The Addison-Rutland Natural Gas Project will save towns money and the millions of dollars the project will pay in property taxes will help pay for public schools and other local municipal services.

Extending natural gas to the International Paper mill in Ticonderoga will save Vermonters $45 million of the cost to deliver natural gas to Rutland by 2020 – 15-years sooner than would otherwise be possible.
International Paper spends more than $3 million on goods and services provided by Vermont businesses, in addition to $2.5 million spent for wood and fiber and over $1 million in wages and benefits paid to Vermonters working at the mill.
Thank you for your support of this important project. By working together, we can extend the economic and environmental benefits of North American Natural Gas to more Vermonters and help grow the economy and create more and better paying jobs.
Many thanks,
Jason
