Two key hearings have been set to discuss if a proposed natural gas pipeline can be built under Cincinnati's suburbs.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports a public hearing June 15 at the University of Cincinnati-Blue Ash campus will allow citizens to express thoughts on the proposed 13-mile long pipeline planned to run under multiple suburbs in northern Cincinnati.
A number of community organizations have already announced that they will oppose the pipeline project.
An adjudicatory hearing is set July 12 in Columbus.
Duke Energy says it wants to extend the pipeline to increase the reliability of natural gas delivery in central Cincinnati.
Another energy company, IGS Energy, has asked to intervene in support of the pipeline project that would begin near the intersection of Butler, Warren and Hamilton counties.
