An informational meeting on the proposed 100-mile-long pipeline that would run through Northampton County has been scheduled for next week in Bath.
Co-hosted by State Reps. Marcia Hahn (R-Nazareth) and Julie Harhart (R-Northampton), the meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 5 in Covenant United Methodist Church, 2715 Mountain View Drive, Bath.
"Even though construction on this project is tentatively set to begin in 2017, the subject has caused a great deal of concern among our constituents," Harhart said in a news release.
"We want to provide a forum where information can be disseminated and residents in the construction area can get answers to their questions."
"A Power Point on the project will be presented, and a local attorney will discuss the rights of property owners," added Hahn.
"There will be plenty of time for questions to be asked. We're expecting a full house and anyone planning to attend can access the meeting area in the church as early as 5:30 p.m."
The controversial pipeline would transport natural gas from near Wilkes-Barre to Woodland, N.J., passing through Carbon and Northampton counties along the way.
It is estimated to take seven months to complete and create about 2,000 jobs.
Questions may be directed to Harhart's district offices in Northampton (610-502-2701) and Slatington (610-760-9805) or Hahn's Bushkill Township district office (610-746-2100).
