Scott Morris, Chairman, President and CEO of Avista Corp., added: “Avista Corp.’s growth strategy has long-been to deliver innovative, cost-effective energy solutions. Salix will be the platform for our ongoing work exploring the growth potential of LNG with customers in search of better solutions.”
