County Statement on Proposed Natural Gas Line

Within the past week, the County has learned that a number of residents have been contacted by a utility provider known as Chickahominy LLC regarding a proposed 24” natural gas pipeline being considered. According to a media report, this gas pipeline would be constructed through five Virginia localities including Hanover. Unfortunately, the company has not contacted Hanover County, and the company has not responded to the County’s requests for information. The County shares the concerns expressed by residents and will continue to attempt to gain information about this project. We will update residents as we learn about the company’s plans.
