The Liberty County Commissioners Court Workshop held on September 27, 2024, focused on a significant discussion regarding the proposed Blackfin Pipeline project. Present at the meeting were Commissioners Korbowski and Arthur, while Commissioner Whitmire was absent, and Commissioner Wilson had prior appointments.
The primary agenda item was a presentation by representatives from Blackfin Pipeline LLC, including Bruce Sanger from MPG Pipeline Contractors and Juan Sandoval, the permit coordinator for Blackfin. The representatives outlined the pipeline's proposed route, which is set to extend from the eastern boundary of Liberty County to the western boundary, traversing through Precincts 2 and 3.
Sanger emphasized their role in addressing any questions and ensuring that the community is informed about the project specifics. Sandoval indicated plans to schedule a follow-up meeting with the Commissioners Court to further discuss the project and its implications for the county.
This workshop marks an important step in the pipeline's development process, as local officials seek to understand the project's impact on the community and the environment. Further discussions are anticipated as the project progresses.
