Proponents of a proposed $750 million pipeline to carry natural gas from Pennsylvania to a Schoharie County pumping station are hoping a key federal decision on the project could come as soon as this summer.

"We're optimistic," said Chris Stockton, a spokesman for Williams Partners, which, along with Cabot Energy and a consortium of other companies, wants to construct the 122-mile Constitution Pipeline from Pennsylvania across New York.

The planned line would carry natural gas extracted by hydrofracking and would stretch from Susquehanna County, Pa., through four New York counties: Broome, Chenango, Delaware and Schoharie. It would terminate in the town of Wright, west of the Albany County Hilltowns, where it would connect with existing lines run by Iroquois Gas and Tennessee Gas.
