Council weighs non-binding resolution opposing nearby LNG facility
Summary
Council considered a non-binding resolution expressing concern about environmental and safety risks of a proposed liquified natural gas facility and pipeline expansion nearby; a public commenter urged the Borough to formally oppose the project.
Council reviewed a proposed non-binding resolution opposing a planned liquified natural gas (LNG) facility and pipeline expansion in nearby municipalities, framed as a municipal statement of concern about environmental and safety risks. Manager Forman said neighboring municipalities are considering similar resolutions.
Erica Berman of West Baltimore Avenue addressed Council in support of the proposed resolution, citing safety concerns and recent pipeline incidents as reasons for municipal opposition. The workshop minutes record Council discussion of the resolution as a statement of concern rather than a binding regulatory action.
No formal binding vote or adoption is recorded in the workshop minutes. Staff and Council will continue to coordinate with neighboring municipalities that are considering similar resolutions; if Council pursues the resolution it will be placed on a future agenda for possible adoption.
