$3B gas pipeline will bring financial boon to Black Belt of Alabama

Part of a $3 billion natural gas line project will be coming through the Black Belt starting in 2027 and bring workers and growth for industry.

The South System Expansion 4 Project, or SSE4, calls for burying about 290 miles of natural gas pipeline from Clarke County, Mississippi, east to Augusta, Georgia. That route takes the pipeline right through the middle of Alabama, much of it through the Black Belt.

The pipeline will pass through Elmore, Autauga, Dallas, Perry, Marengo and Sumter counties, according to the application from Southern Natural Gas Co.

Todd and Cindy talk about the project in this segment of the Black Belt Newscast.
