Support for Mariner East
AboutBusiness, labor and government groups stand with Mariner East projects
Pennsylvania jobs. American energy independence. Reduced carbon emissions. Safe, environmentally responsible energy transportation. There are many reasons supporters have stood behind the Mariner East pipeline system — from planning to construction and operation.
Throughout construction and operation of the Mariner East pipelines, we have prioritized communications to all municipalities and landowners impacted. Keeping communities and stakeholders informed is critical to open communications.

Working with Communities
To keep communities up to date throughout the construction of Mariner East 2 and Mariner East 2X, we have responded to hundreds of emails and phone calls to address questions and concerns, as well as conducting a number of outreach efforts with county and municipal leaders and community organizations. Additionally, our Mariner East News & Views newsletters are distributed monthly.
Our commitment to keeping communities engaged in an open dialogue throughout the Mariner East projects is reflected in the numerous comments submitted through public records to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission and media outlets.
