Tulsa, Okla.-based NGL Energy Partners is still hunting for a new liquefied petroleum gas depot in southern Maine following the city of South Portland’s March decision to not allow the building of a depot in the city and the state’s acquisition of NGL’s Portland site.
The Portland Press Herald reports that NGL’s Portland site changed hands to the Maine Department of Transportation as part of the expansion of the International Marine Terminal. Because of the acquisition, the department has agreed to cover the cost of building a new depot in the state for up to $3 million.
“Development of a new, state-of-the-art facility in southern Maine will help NGL safely and efficiently serve our customers and meet that demand,” Kevin Fitzgerald, NGL’s regional operations manager, said in a prepared statement, according to the Press Herald.
