Peekskill city officials submitted a motion to Intervene Out-of-Time and to be granted Full-Party Status re Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC under CP14-96.

The city is the representative of the residents who will bear the brunt of the construction of a new, larger pipeline to replace Spectra Energy’s current pipeline to New England markets and ports, they said.
