Chatham County leaders are set to discuss a proposal for a 28-mile natural gas pipeline that would run from U.S. Highway 64 in Siler City to U.S. 1 in Lee County. The pipeline would support 18,000 existing customers and future growth in Lee and Chatham counties.
Landowners have expressed concerns about the potential impact of the pipeline on water quality, particularly in areas where it would cross waterways like the Haw River. Organizers with the Haw River Assembly are urging Chatham County commissioners to take a stand in support of the community.
Enbridge Gas, the company behind the proposal, has stated that it is committed to engaging with landowners, the community, and local leaders to answer questions and provide information as the route refinement process continues.
Upcoming Meeting
The Chatham County Board of Commissioners will hold a special meeting on Wednesday at 6 p.m. to discuss the proposal. Residents are encouraged to attend and share their thoughts on the matter.
