STATEMENT OF MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG ON THE PASSAGE OF LEGISLATION AUTHORIZING A NEW NATURAL GAS PIPELINE FOR BROOKLYN AND QUEENS

“The legislation passed this morning in the U.S. Senate is not just about the construction and operation of a natural gas pipeline and the jobs it will create – it is critical to building a stable, clean-energy future for New York City and improving the health of all New Yorkers. I want to thank Senator Schumer who sponsored this important legislation as well as Senators Bingaman and Murkowski who helped make passage possible. I would also like to acknowledge the important role of the National Park Service in this process and look forward to the members of the House re-passing this bill when they return in November.”
