Political opposition is mounting to a plan by Eversource to build a new underground high pressure natural gas pipeline in western Massachusetts.
Earlier this week, members of the Springfield legislative delegation sent a letter to a state regulatory agency declaring their opposition to the project that entails building a 5-mile pipeline between Longmeadow and Springfield.
On Monday, the Springfield City Council will take up a resolution opposing the pipeline.
WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Springfield City Council President Jesse Lederman.
