​Last week our Manufacturing Industrial Council director Meredith Neal testified in support of Puget Sound Energy's liquified natural gas (LNG) facility, and was joined by many local business leaders, elected officials, union workers, and non-profits to speak up in support of the Tacoma LNG facility. 

Here's why we took time from our busy schedules to testify in support:

• The project will bring significant environmental and economic benefits to our region
• It's clear the project will reduce emissions from maritime vessels, allowing them to be converted from bunker fuel to clean LNG - learn more about the project here
• The project has been in permitting since 2015, under construction for years and needs final permit approval before it can be completed.
• See our complete talking points here

 
You might have seen news coverage of the hearing, which included many protesters outside. This project has vocal opposition, which is why we need your voice to talk about the benefits of the LNG project, how it will replace diesel fuel, improve the environment, create jobs and contribute to the diverse and thriving business community in the Port of Tacoma.
