Energy minister: opening of new GP Pembina office testament to region

The new Pembina Pipeline office in Grande Prairie officially opened Tuesday.

Energy Minister Marg McCuaig-Boyd was in attendance and says investment like this is a testament to the region and province as a whole.

“They are not going to build a building and then not fill it. Right now they have about 100 employees and it sounds like they can fit up to 300 so I think it is a huge vote of confidence not just for this area, but for Alberta.”

She adds “there is a lot of interest in this region, you know with the Duvernay and the Montney, I think it is going to be an area of huge interest for investors and I have even talked to Minister (Brian) Mason about the potential in this area because we need to be ready with infrastructure as well, you know with highways and that.”
