Half of the deficiencies that threatened to scuttle necessary state environmental permits for a natural gas pipeline project, before an 11th-hour withdrawal of the permit applications, were connected to the part of that project which falls in Franklin Township.

The township is slated to be home to a 32,000-horsepower gas compressor station, part of the Williams-Transco Northeast Supply Enhancement Project, which includes miles of new gas pipeline to be laid in Middlesex County and in the Raritan Bay.
