Scare Tactics: Mountain Valley Pipe Passes Near Va. Town

It's been a long, tough slog for Equitrans Midstream's Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP), a 303-mile pipeline from West Virginia into southern Virginia. The project is 92% done and in the ground. The final bits should be done within the next year and it will go online (if the crick don't rise and the Lord don't come) in mid-2022. One of the places where the pipeline was recently installed is close to a small clump of homes (called a "village") in the Virginia mountains of Giles County. A place called Newport. A recent article in the Roanoke Times would have you believe the pipeline has somehow devastated the local community. It has not. We're here to provide perspective on pipelines as good neighbors.
