$10B LNG Port Project Planned for Sabine Pass

Golden Pass Products LLC announced plans Tuesday morning to start construction on an over $10 billion expansion to the existing Golden Pass LNG facility in Sabine Pass, Texas as soon as this spring. Golden Pass predicts the project will create about 9,000 construction jobs over the five-year construction period and more than 200 permanent jobs once the facility open. If the project gets underway by the first quarter like Golden Pass expects, it believes the terminal will be open by 2024.
