KY counties in light green served by the Pennyrile Energy Corridor project
In September 2022, MDN told you about a new 53-mile pipeline project in Western Kentucky — a 16-inch natural gas pipeline to feed natgas to the southern Pennyrile Region (see Kentucky Spending $30M on New NatGas Pipe to Expand Biz Growth). The $115 million project is partly being underwritten by a $30 million grant from the State of Kentucky. Half of the state money ($15 million) was distributed in 2022, and the other half was distributed in 2023 (see W. Kentucky 53-Mile NatGas Pipe Moving Forward with State Funding). Even though the seed money was distributed long ago, construction has not yet begun. Now comes word that the project has offered to connect to Clarksville, Tennessee, which sits on the border with Kentucky.
