On Monday, September 15, 2014, in regular meeting,
the Dougherty
County Commissioners, city officials and citizens discussed the
proposed Sabal Trail natural gas pipeline that will pass through
Dougherty County, Georgia. Based on that discussion, I herewith
offer the following comments to you for your consideration:
As Mayor of Albany, I adamantly object to the alignment as proposed.
In working with the citizens of Albany/Dougherty County, the
comments received are not in support of the proposed alignment.
Speciļ¬c objections are the location ofthe compression station
which will be within feet of the City of Albany’s Water, Gas and
Light facility that is located on Lily Pond Road. The citizens and
city/county elected officials feel that there is a failure to look
at other alternatives and respectfully ask that this project be put
on hold until the concerns and questions have been addressed.
Thank you in advance for your immediate attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
[signed]
Dorothy B. Hubbard
