Our goals is that through this program our neighbors will become more familiar with Williams and see that we are a 100-year-old company with a deep tradition of supporting the communities where our employees live and work.”

The Atlantic Sunrise project is a proposed expansion of the existing Transco natural gas pipeline system in eastern Pennsylvania designed to transport enough natural gas to serve approximately 7 million homes. The design and construction of the project is projected to generate approximately $1.6 billion in positive economic impact, according to a study authored by researchers at Pennsylvania State University. Since last spring the company has been involved in the FERC pre-filing process, soliciting input from citizens, governmental entities and other interested parties to identify and address issues with potential facility locations. In response to feedback received, the company has made adjustments nearly 50% of the pipeline route filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in March 2015.
