Exciting news for New York’s energy sector—and for skilled trades professionals looking to get ahead.
The Iroquois Enhancement by Compression (ExC) Project, a major 414-mile natural gas pipeline expansion, has cleared a critical regulatory step. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) recently approved key permits for compressor station upgrades in Dover and Athens, paving the way for the next development phase.
This project aims to enhance gas reliability for downstate New York while creating a surge in demand for qualified pipeline workers.
What Does This Mean for Skilled Trades?
With construction and upgrades about to accelerate, there’s growing demand for:
- Welders

Why the Iroquois Expansion Matters
This isn’t just any pipeline. Spanning 414 miles, the Iroquois system plays a crucial role in delivering natural gas across state lines, ensuring that homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure in the downstate region have access to reliable energy.
With environmental compliance and approvals now in place, the project is set to move quickly, bringing both economic and employment benefits.
