Northern will sell gas to aid Upper Peninsula project
Northern will market 8,826,000 cu ft of gas daily for redistribution in the Houghton Hancock area and 31,660,000 cu ft daily to Cleveland Cliffs Iron Company for ore processing. The FPC order says a sound market awaits the Northern Wisconson Upper Peninsula project, with gas needs expected to grow once supply is available. The move, with Michigan Consolidated Gas Company's Menominee to Escanaba project, could spur UP economy.
