Plans in works for Michigan natural gas pipeline

Plans are in the works for a new natural gas transmission pipeline that could pass through Michigan on its way to Ontario, Canada.

According to the Associated Press, the new pipeline would partially track along the same route of a major pipeline being replaced in the Lower Peninsula area of the state.

The project is expected to create 5,000 temporary construction jobs and up to 40 permanent jobs. Roughly 150 miles of the pipeline would be located in Michigan.
