Residents Sound Off On Renewed Application For Pipeline Project That Will Run Through Franklin

LEADING THE CHARGE – Mayor Phil Kramer led the Franklin delegation in a virtual public comment session run by state environmental officials about permit applications for a controversial natural gas pipeline project.

More than 170 area residents – including a healthy contingent from Franklin – took to the Internet September 10 to persuade the state Department of Environmental Protection to once again kill a controversial gas pipeline project.

The nearly 20 Franklin residents joined their fellow dissenters in asking the state DEP to reject several Clean Water Act permits needed for the project sponsored by Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company (Transco), a subsidiary of the Houston, Texas-based Williams Companies.
