Find Out More About Gas Pipeline Slated to Run Through North Reading

One of the most highly anticipated meetings in North Reading in recent memory is on Thursday night.

North Reading residents and officials will get to hear firsthand about the plan for the Tennessee Gas Pipeline that is proposed to run through North Reading and a number of other nearby communities.

The meeting is scheduled at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 5 in the Town Hall Gymnasium.

The pipeline, which is slated to transport natural gas to the northeast, is scheduled to cross Main Street near Walmart and then run by the Damon/Gould Street neighborhood, across Park Street and past Scotland Heights off Haverhill Street. 

Workers for the proposed gas line have been in town over the past few months. Residents near the proposed gas pipeline have signed a petition against the proposal. 

Opponents to the pipeline say it will affect wetlands and the Ipswich River Watershed, hurt property values and cause possible health hazards to the nearby homes. They are also concerned about the potential for explosions if a gas line is built through North Reading.
