A series of open houses will be held next month on a proposed pipeline that would extend from Luzerne County to New Jersey that could pass through several townships in Carbon County.

One of those sessions that will be hosted by the PennEast Pipeline Company LLC from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Nov. 18 at the Aquashicola Volunteer Fire Company, 290 Little Gap Road.Earlier this month, a representative from PennEast Pipeline was scheduled to attend a Towamensing Township board of supervisors meeting to provide information on the proposed project. Due to the higher-than-normal number of residents who were expected to attend that meeting, the township planned to move that meeting to the Towamensing fire company quarters.However, PennEast Pipeline rescheduled that presentation and will instead host an open house at the Aquashicola Volunteer Fire Company.In August, the company announced plans to construct the PennEast Pipeline Project.The roughly 108-mile, 36-inch diameter natural gas pipeline could be built as early as 2017 and be in service later that year, pending regulatory approval.It would carry 1 billion cubic feet of gas per day and would run from Luzerne County through Carbon, Northampton and Bucks counties to Trenton, New Jersey.Four entities, AGL Resources; NJR Pipeline Company, a subsidiary of New Jersey Resources; South Jersey Industries; and UGI Energy Services, UGIES, a subsidiary of UGI Corporation, will share the cost of the project.
