Ohio House Passes Bill to Encourage New NatGas Pipes w/$20M Fund

A bill proposed by two Republican state lawmakers in Ohio, House Bill (HB) 349, makes it easier to site and build natural gas pipelines to areas of the state where pipelines currently don’t exist (see Ohio Bill Encourages New NatGas Pipelines to Spread Across State). The bill will create new jobs by running pipelines to industrial parks and businesses not currently serviced by natgas. The aim is to stimulate new jobs and opportunities in Buckeye State, a smart strategy. Good news: HR 349 was just passed by the full Ohio House and now moves on to the Senate.
