In response to the conclusion of the lease sale, the BlueGreen Alliance released the following statement from Executive Director Jason Walsh:

“The Long Bay lease sale is the latest step forward in growing our nation’s offshore wind capacity. The potential for clean energy generation and high-quality job creation in the offshore wind industry is substantial and if we do this right—making necessary investments down the supply chain—the benefits of the expansion of this industry will ripple across the country to manufacturing communities ready and willing to produce the parts and materials that make these projects a reality.”
