Sabal Trail: Eminent domain accusation ‘hard to believe’
“A representative with the Sabal Trail Pipeline discussed the proposed pipeline this week and refuted allegations from protestors.
Andrea Grover, director of stakeholder outreach for Sabal Trail, said allegations from homeowners that surveyors threatened eminent domain on their properties was “hard to believe.”
“I would really disagree with any of those accusations,” Grover said. “We do a lot of training with our entire staff to ensure that we treat landowners with respect, that we provide as much information and want to have an open dialogue with those landowners.”
Grover said that Sabal Trail only works on properties that they are allowed to work on.
“We are only on those properties that we have permission to be there, or have agreements in place to be there,” Grover said. “These are things that we instill in our workforce.”
Grover also said that those living along the pipeline’s route will be able to get natural gas.”
