Lower Saucon Council agrees to more research before opposing pipeline
“The Lower Saucon Township Council Wednesday passed a motion to do further research and fact-finding before it passes a formal resolution opposing the construction of the new PennEast natural gas pipeline scheduled to run through a 1.5-mile portion of the township. Township Manager Jack Cahalan and council members reported on a Nov. 12 meeting Lower Saucon requested with PennEast after the pipeline company said it would be conducting “open-house” style public meetings as opposed to attending individual municipality meetings. Cahalan said at the meeting PennEast proposed the construction of an additional 24-inch wide pipeline called “the Hellertown lateral” to branch off the main pipeline and run in a southwesterly direction.”
