Borealis pipeline proposal sparks landowner concerns in Kentucky
(UI) - Residents in Shelby County, Kentucky, are raising concerns over the proposed Borealis natural gas pipeline, a planned 260-mile project that would cross portions of Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio.
During a public meeting this week, landowners questioned Texas Gas representatives about potential safety risks, property impacts and the possibility of eminent domain tied to the project. According to WDRB News, several residents said they had received requests to allow survey work on their property as route planning continues.
Texas Gas officials said the pipeline route has not been finalized and that the company plans to work with affected property owners throughout the process. The project remains subject to federal review and permitting requirements before construction could move forward.
According to project details shared at the meeting, the pipeline could begin construction in 2028 and enter service by 2030 if approved. Proposed routes would avoid Louisville while crossing parts of Shelby, Carroll and Trimble counties, reported WDRB.
