Virginia Gas is already building a 55-mile pipeline through Southwestern Virginia.
It runs from Radford Clearbrook in Roanoke County.
Last month, Roanoke County supervisors passed a resolution asking the company to run the pipeline along an existing one to reduce environmental damage.
Tonight, Montgomery County followed suit.

Jean, the resolution passed tonight has no legal teeth.
The state has already given Virginia Gas the go-ahead to build a new pipeline.
All anyone can do now is urge the company to do it with the least harm to neighborhoods and the environment.
