Energy Project Needs Easements. Cities Say No.

A city in Ohio is refusing to agree to easements for a proposed pipeline. 

How far is the city willing to go? 

• The city rejected a $146,000 offer for the easements over city lands and right of ways
• The city is making its case in federal court for an alternate route through less populated areas

What is the city’s policy argument? it is protecting the economic future. A study says the pipeline will cause the city to lose millions in economic development.
