Virginia Gas -- a subsidiary of N-U-I -- will NOT build a new gas pipeline through Southwest Virginia.
[ANCHOR=Shannon 2-Shot]

(( Brent Riley spent almost a year hoping to convince local officials that a new pipeline would cost more than just money. He foresaw thousands of acres of private properties destroyed.
So he's among the happiest with today's decision.
[SOT]
((BRENT RILEY/PIPELINE OPPONENT: WE HAD A GROUP OF CITIZENS THAT WERE DETERMINED THAT THERE HAD TO BE A BETTER WAY, AND ALL OF THAT TOGETHER IS WHAT TURNED THIS AROUND.)) [RUNS10]
Riley's efforts to fight the project were matched only by those of John Williamson -- he was one of its biggest supporters.
Williamson's company, Roanoke Gas, was counting on NUI to build a new pipeline.
[SOT]
((JOHN WILLIAMSON/ROANOKE GAS: WE'RE CERTAINLY DISAPPOINTED THAT A THIRD GAS PIPELINE IS NOT GOING TO COME ALL THE WAY TO ROANOKE WE FELT A THIRD PIPELINE MET LONG-TERM CAPACITY NEEDS HERE.)) [RUNS10]
If a new pipeline had been built, Williamson says Roanoke Gas would have been willing to expand its operations to Franklin County and Rocky Mount.
Since those pipeline plans have been canceled, Franklin County won't see the three to four million dollars Roanoke Gas was willing to pour in.
A small reminder though -- NUI still holds all the deeds and permits it needs to build the pipeline, so it make take another look sometime in the future. ))
[ANCHOR=Jen full/MB Set]

Roanoke Gas DOES have more than this one option to bring natural gas to the area -- it can use other pipelines owned by Columbia, or Duke Energy.
So even though the decision NOT to build won't be difficult to deal with in the short run, it will require some negotiation between Gas companies
[DOUBLE BOXES=Keith-Shannon & Jen/MB Set;]
to fulfill the region's natural gas needs in the long run.
