Tazewell County in southwestern Virginia produces the third-highest volume of natural gas in the state. A major gas pipeline, Enbridge's East Tennessee Natural Gas (ETNG) System, runs through the county. Yet, businesses and residents have almost no access to natural gas.

Tazewell and neighboring Russell County have just picked up $100,000 each from the recently approved state budget to study how to connect to natural gas.
