NELSON, Va. (WVIR) - “Our Community Won” signs are posted along Route 151 in Nelson County, referring to the July 2020 cancellation of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline project. Although, the pipeline will never touch the ground in Nelson County, many landowners are having to fight for what’s theirs.
“These landowners are looking at having this encumbrance on their land now, for the next generation and forever,” Landowner Liaison for the Friends of Nelson Joyce Burton said.
