Leatherstocking Gas Company is a limited-liability partnership between Corning Natural Gas Company and Mirabito Holdings. As a public utility, the company distributes natural gas to customers which may be sourced from interstate pipelines and local gas wells after processing into market ready gas. The company is not involved with gathering lines or feeder pipelines, according to company representatives at the hearing. The company intends to build a low-pressure distribution line primarily to serve industry and institutions such as schools and hospitals, as well as residential customers along the pipeline route, which possibly could be along along Route 206 and Route 7. They need a franchise agreement with the town to run their line along and across roads and highways, A number of local residents are concerned over safety issues, proximity of the pipeline, possible taking of land under eminent domain (something the company reps said is not necessary, and which the town supervisor believes could be specifically prohibited as a term of the franchise), and there is a lot of concern how this pipeline may encourage hydraulic fracturing of the Marcellus Shale in the area. Others support the company's position that providing natural gas, which is substantially less expensive than propane or fuel oil, would help the local economy and allows local use of a local resource, Your comments are welcome.
