In our opinion: Why build natural gas facility in middle of neighborhood?

Posted 8/29/23

Dominion Energy is proposing to build a natural gas regulator station at 209 Center St. in Evanston, within a residential neighborhood. Why would a huge corporation like Dominion Energy choose to place a potential hazard smack dab in the middle of family residences, where children play, if there are more suitable vacant commercial lots, particularly along Highway 150?

Does the cost of the site have anything to do with their decision to intrude upon a residential neighborhood?
