Columbia Gas of Virginia will invest in infrastructure and environmental projects in the Tidewater region starting in 2026, focusing on safe natural gas delivery to 290,000 customers as part of the Steps to Advance Virginia's Energy (SAVE) Plan. Planned upgrades include improvements in Chesapeake and the relocation of gas lines in Smithfield to enhance local beautification efforts. The initiative also follows a community clean-up in 2024 and a 2025 Environmental Action Grant to support local environmental projects.
