SULPHUR, La. (KPLC) - Venture Global says its LNG facility on the Cameron Parish coast will begin commercial operations on April 15. To go along with that project, the company wants to build a compressor station in the Moss Lake area of Calcasieu Parish.
There was a packed house tonight for a public hearing on the proposed compressor station. pu cold room panel
Some in attendance were in favor of the compressor, citing the potential job growth it will have in our region plus the partnerships with McNeese State University and SOWELA.
Others were not in favor of the compressor and raised concerns about pollution regulations and its proximity to homes.
“It’s time for people to have a moral compass and stand up and say, ‘No, Venture Global are not good neighbors. They haven’t been and they’re not going to be,’” one resident said. “People are paying with our lives, fighting illness and we can’t even afford to get healthcare while Venture Global was given billion dollars. It’s ridiculous. Enough is enough.”
A Venture Global representative says they will consider what the residents said at the hearing.
