NEWS. IN GUILFORD COUNTY, WE HAVE AN UPDATE TO A STORY WE FIRST BROUGHT YOU LAST MONTH. GUILFORD COUNTY LEADERS HAVE PASSED A RESOLUTION ASKING FOR MORE ANALYSIS ON PUBLIC SAFETY WITH A NATURAL GAS PIPELINE PROJECT. COMMISSIONERS SAID THEY DON’T HAVE JURISDICTION TO STOP FEDERAL APPROVAL OF THE TRANSCO PIPELINE EXTENSION. HOWEVER, THEY ARE ASKING FOR A MORE THOROUGH BREAKDOWN OF THE PROPOSAL. THE EXTENSION WOULD ADD 28 MILES OF PIPELINE ACROSS GUILFORD, FORSYTH AND DAVIDSON COUNTIES.
