The IDA heard an introduction to Blue Psi consultants Syed Rizvi and Mustapha Hamdani, who will perform an economic feasibility study of extending natural gas distribution along Route 19 to evaluate public or private development viability.

County Administrator Eric Young introduced Syed Rizvi and Mustapha Hamdani of Blue Psi at the IDA meeting Aug. 13. Blue Psi described its experience in gas operations, construction and management and said it will conduct an economic feasibility study to evaluate extending natural gas distribution along Route 19.

Young said the study will assess whether an extension is a practical option for public or private development.
