St. Paul, Minn. (Sept. 27, 2019) – Jobs for Minnesotans released the following statement following the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s action today on Enbridge’s Line 3 Replacement Project:

“Today’s action by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency on Enbridge’s Line 3 Replacement Project was expected given the Minnesota Court of Appeals decision back in June. Jobs for Minnesotans is encouraged by the Minnesota Supreme Court’s decision last week and the quick action of the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission to move expeditiously through the final reviews of the Line 3 Project.
