NELSON COUNTY, Va. (WVIR) - Over 250 properties in Nelson County signed easements with Dominion Energy to avoid eminent domain from taking over their land for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline.
“Even though this is a dead project, the easements are very much alive,” Nelson County Board of Supervisors Chair Ernie Reed said.
The county is now taking action and fighting for the landowners who were forced to give up land for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, which has since been canceled.
