Background

Nexus Pipeline is a greenfield natural gas pipeline from Ohio to Michigan. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved construction of the NEXUS Gas Transmission Pipeline in August of 2017. In December of 2017, media reported that workers began clearing trees and preparing construction areas for the project in Lake, Marlboro, Nimishillen, and Washington townships.

The pipeline began operations in 2018.

Opposition

Residents from Medina, Lorain, and Summit counties in Ohio formed the Coalition to Reroute Nexus. The group stands for "property owner rights & use of pipeline safety corridors."
