and full-scale construction on the project has now begun, according to Mariner East News, a newsletter published by Sunoco to update residents on the project.
“Sunoco’s Mariner East projects are expected
to support 15,000 jobs a year over two years
of construction and up to 440 permanent jobs when finished,” reports Delaware County news outlet Pivot.Today. As a further investment into Delaware County’s economic future, Sunoco recently donated $100,000 to Delaware County Community College to help the school provide more scholarships to students in the field of process-control technology.
During its construction, Mariner East 2
will use approximately 75,000 tons of American-manufactured steel, which supports additional jobs in the region. According to Sunoco, pipeline construction should be finished in 2018.
