WASHINGTON - Developers of a proposed pipeline that would link local natural gas resources to customers as far away as Canada have scheduled several informational sessions for communities along parts of the 250 mile long route.

Nexus Gas Transmission LLC has notified the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that it will hold ten open house sessions between February 2 and February 18.

On Tuesday, February 10, an open house is scheduled from 5:00 pm until 7:30 pm at the United Local High School Cafeteria, 8143 Ohio Route 9, in Hanoverton, Columbiana County.

The open houses are for affected landowners, an other people and entities having an interest in the project.

The planned pipeline would travel through Hanover, West and Knox Townships in Columbiana County.

A list of landowners living along the route of the pipeline was submitted to the government under seal as privileged information.

According to documents filed with the FERC, the NEXUS Project will create a new path to deliver 1.5 billion cubic feet of gas per day from the Marcellus and Utica shale regions to parts of Ohio, Michigan, Chicago and Ontario.

Approximately 200 miles of new pipeline would be located in Columbiana, Stark, Summit, Wayne, Medina, Lorain, Erie, Sandusky, Wood, Lucas, and Fulton Counties in Ohio.

Another 50 miles of new pipeline would be installed in Michigan,

The project would connect the existing Kensington Processing Plant in Columbiana County to the Texas Eastern mainline extension Booster Station, as well as the Tennessee Gas Pipeline mainline.

Four new gas turbine compressor stations would be installed in Columbiana, Medina, Erie and Lucas Counties.

If the project meets with regulatory approval, construction would begin two years from now, and the pipeline would go into service in November 2017.
