William Atkinson and his wife Wilma are among 58 property owners in Michigan facing an eminent domain lawsuit filed in federal court by Energy Transfer Rover Pipeline earlier this month.
“They want to build an access road through our property, but we have not agreed to that yet,” Marion Township resident William Atkinson said.
“I’m not happy about eminent domain. I don’t think it’s right they can do that.”
The company is ready to start building an interstate natural-gas pipeline, but hasn’t yet secured easements, which would give it right-of-way, from all of the private property owners, government entities and utility companies along the route.
