WHAT:    Virginia Natural Gas, a subsidiary of AGL Resources [NYSE ATG],
           will break ground on its Hampton Roads Crossing (HRX) natural gas

           Roads harbor.

           Virginia's energy infrastructure and is specifically identified
           in Virginia's Energy Plan as a project with great importance.
