WHITE PLAINS—Westchester County Executive George Latimer said today that the county will be requesting Con Edison delay the implementation of its moratorium on new gas connections for most sections of the county that is set to begin on March 15.

Fearing the potential impacts the moratorium could have on the billions of dollars in new development projects in the pipeline, County Executive Latimer said that he is hopeful the utility will agree to delay the implementation date of the new natural gas connection ban that was announced on Friday, Jan. 15.
