Media outlets report that the board approved a resolution Wednesday night opposing the route envisioned by Mountain Valley Pipeline LLC. Board members plan to submit the resolution to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which must approve the pipeline before it could be built. The board's concerns include the pipeline's impact on property values and the county's scenic, recreational and sensitive environmental areas; contamination of groundwater, surface water and wells; and threats to public safety.
