The purchase is part of a larger transaction that also includes the acquisition of New Jersey-based Elizabethtown Gas.                                                         "The acquisition of Elizabethtown and Elkton Gas is a great fit for SJI and reinforces our commitment to high quality, regulated earnings growth," said Michael J.
