Vermont homeowners concerned about losing property to pipeline project
“Monkton homeowner Maren Vasatka was among several Vermonters who received notice from Vermont Gas recently about the potential use of eminent domain to make way for a natural gas line. And she’s not happy about it.
Vasatka said that before receiving the letter, she had been involved in negotiations with the company about an easement option but still had lingering questions.
“We shouldn’t be forced to sign that agreement out of arm twisting without having our issues addressed,” Vasatka said Friday.
Vermont homeowners and community members met with Public Service Department Commissioner Chris Recchia and state Sen. Chris Bray, a Democrat from New Haven, in Monkton on Thursday to express concerns about the gas company’s plans.”
