Opponents say Nexus pipeline’s benefits would be short-lived – Cleveland Business News – Northeast Ohio and Cleveland – Crain’s Cleveland Business

But will it bring new economic opportunities, or decreased property values, on a 250-mile path upon which nothing can be built in the future?
According to citizens and local governments watching it closely, the pipeline might bring both. But it’s the potential negative impacts that have some local officials opposed to the pipeline and fighting its approval.
“We certainly are not going to benefit from the Nexus pipeline,” said Al Bollas, mayor of New Franklin, which is between Akron and Canton near the Portage Lakes region.
