An underground high-pressure natural gas pipeline is proposed from Longmeadow to Springfield

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.
