Virginia Gas began plans for a new pipeline almost five years ago -- but when the company ran into financial trouble, plans halted.
Things got back on track when a New Jersey-based Gas Company called NUI bought Virginia Gas -- suddenly, the money to build the pipeline was no longer a problem.
That is until recently, when Virginia Gas realized building a new pipeline from Saltville to Roanoke would cost TWICE as much as originally planned.

The procedure is done on an outpatient basis.
And since the procedure is fairly new --doctors are not sure yet how long it will last --so far studies show at least three to five years.
