The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection is holding a virtual public hearing on Iroquois Gas' proposed expansion of a natural gas compressor station near Whisconier Middle School, which aims to increase capacity by over 125 million cubic feet per day. The project has drawn opposition from local residents and environmental groups due to potential health risks, while also being part of a larger $272 million initiative to enhance natural gas supply. Public comments will be considered by DEEP prior to making a recommendation on the proposal.
