Several arrests have been made this year as protesters access restricted land used to develop a pipeline. According to a website dedicated to the protest, they ask people to “join us in opposing
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company’s proposed expansion of the existing pipeline corridor through the Beech Plain (northeast) section of Sandisfield.”
You can read more about their protest on the Sandisfield Taxpayers Opposing the Pipeline website.
