Rural gasification funds earmarked for Peace River area
South Peace River MLA Don Phillips announced a provincial program under the Employment Development Program allocating 1.5 million to rural gasification in South and North Peace. The plan aims to create about 60 direct jobs this summer through gas line installation, boost local hardware and contracting business, and provide natural gas for homes and farm operations. Energy Minister Bob McClelland joined Phillips, noting potential savings of up to 1500 dollars per year in fuel costs as gas services expand statewide.
