Liquid Natural Gas Economic Study Noted in BDN

An article in the Bangor Daily News about a proposed liquid natural gas terminal in Down East Maine cited a UMaine study which found an LNG terminal would create 90 operational jobs, 350 construction jobs and 230 “indirect” jobs in the region. The study was prepared in 2005 by UMaine economists Todd Gabe and Jonathan Rubin, Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center’s Charles Morris and Lisa Bragg, who was a UMaine graduate student at the time.
