Pipeline company plans to build compressor in Mahoning County

YOUNGSTOWN

A subsidiary of the largest energy infrastructure company in North America has a plan to build a compressor station in Mahoning County.

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co. LLC, a Kinder Morgan Co., has asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to authorize its request to abandon one parallel pipeline that comprises about 964 miles of mainline pipeline facilities between Natchitoches, La. and Columbiana County.

The company at the same time is asking to construct and operate about 7.6 miles of new pipeline looping in Carter and Lewis counties in Kentucky, four new compressor stations in Ohio, two compressor units at an existing compressor station in Kentucky, and another compressor unit at a proposed compressor station in Kentucky.

The project altogether is valued at $412 million and is known as the Abandonment and Capacity Restoration Project (ACR).

Because the project is still in its preliminary stages, the exact location in Mahoning County of a compressor station is fluid. Read more about the project in Wednesday's Vindicator or on Vindy.com.
