Officials have returned from a special visit to the northwest which was in support of the proposed Jordan Cove LNG project in Coos County, Oregon. Uintah County Commissioner Bart Haslem shares that it is hopeful the project will move along and could be completed within 4 years. The project proposes to build a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) export terminal in an Oregon bay approximately 7 miles from the entrance of a federally controlled and maintained navigational channel used for international trade. The facility could be a viable connection to active Asian markets and if approved and completed, Jordan Cove would open up new markets for natural gas produced in the Uintah Basin. Commissioner Haslem says this would be an economic game-changer for this region. The public comment period for the Draft Environmental Impact Statement is coming to a close
on July 5th.
