RICHMOND \u2013 Today, the Air Pollution Control Board voted 3-1 to allow another round of public comment on Atlantic Coast Pipeline\u2019s proposed Buckingham Compressor Station, which if built, would disproportionately impact the historic African American community of Union Hill. The new comment period will allow concerned citizens to weigh in on new information that came to light following the board\u2019s contentious November hearing.<\/p>\n
En respuesta, Michael Town, director ejecutivo de Virginia LCV, emiti\u00f3 la siguiente declaraci\u00f3n:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWhile we had held out hope the citizens of Union Hill would be celebrating the defeat of Dominion\u2019s compressor station today, the Air Board\u2019s decision to hear more public input on a project with such clear environmental justice impacts is a positive step forward in this fight.<\/p>\n
Time after time, Dominion has put its profits before people. No example is more glaring than the electric monopoly\u2019s Atlantic Coast Pipeline, which isn\u2019t needed and will destroy our environment and communities\u2019 way of life along the route for the benefit of Dominion shareholders.<\/p>\n
With traction behind this project slipping, Dominion is no doubt already scheming ahead to a \u2018Plan B.\u2019 But the days where this corrupt utility can ram through policies and projects that hurt Virginians and our environment are numbered \u2013 it\u2019s time for them to see the writing on the wall, and my hope is the Air Board\u2019s final vote on this project will make that painfully clear.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
