BUCKINGHAM — A third meeting of Dominion’s Community Advisory Group for the proposed gas-fired compressor station is set for Thursday, Jan. 28, from 6-8:30 p.m. in the Buckingham Agricultural Building on U.S. Route 60.

Dominion is the lead partner of the proposed 550-mile Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) project, which is planning to construct a 41,000 horsepower compressor station in Buckingham County.

According to Dominion External Affairs Manager Carla Picard, who’s working with the ACP, the mission of the group is to provide additional information in working sessions with community representatives and to gather input and feedback from the members “on the preferences and priorities of the people in the community to ultimately affect our plans for the station.”

Last year, ACP LLC purchased about 68.5 acres in Buckingham to build the proposed station for the proposed interstate natural gas transmission pipeline.

The land is located just northwest of the Union Hill community along Route 56.
