MVP Boost Update: FERC Decision Near, State Permit Frozen

Mountain Valley Pipeline's (MVP) plan to push more natural gas through its existing pipe, a project called MVP Boost, is closing in on a federal decision. FERC staff have already given the project a clean bill of environmental health. But back in Virginia, Boost is stuck in neutral, all because one county can't seem to make up its mind. The centerpiece of Boost is a brand-new compressor station in Elliston (Montgomery County), Virginia. It's called the Swann Compressor Station, named after Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Famer Lynn Swann (MVP's operator is based in Pittsburgh). Right now, Swann is having trouble getting off the line of scrimmage.
