EDA announces funding for gas line expansion

From Trey Stephens
City of Columbia | Assistant to the Mayor

Recently the City of Columbia was informed that we have been officially approved for an Economic Development Grant for a gas line expansion on North KY-61. The project will be expanding our Natural Gas capacity to customers for the purpose of supporting local business growth.

The expansion will run from our current regulator station in the 3800 block of Greensburg Road to the Green County line, increasing gas carrying capacity from a two inch line to six inch lines.

There are currently 84 customers served by this section of line, but while the project is underway we are welcoming new taps. Interested parties are encouraged to contact the City Gas Department at 270-384-2006.


The project will specifically allow J&L Gate to begin a powder coating operation which will create around 20 full time jobs. This project is just the latest in a long line of economic development successes being brought about by this active City of Columbia administration led by Mayor Hoots. Other recent successes have included a gas line project which led to development of a new Don Franklin Dealership and 30 jobs created as well as a new expansion being undertaken by Circor. Massive gratitude goes out to the Lake Cumberland Area Development District and Congressman James Comer and his staff who both worked very hard in conjunction with the City to make this project happen.
