Proposed 470-mile gas pipeline would affect 760 Tennessee landowners

A proposed 470-mile natural gas pipeline would cross 10 Tennessee counties and affect hundreds of landowners as Kinder Morgan seeks to expand natural gas capacity in growing communities statewide. The Southeast Connector Project would start in Sumner County and include Macon, Trousdale and Smith counties with a pathway that continues south into areas of Alabama and Georgia. That path, which can still be adjusted as it goes through a federally mandated approval process, now involves 760 property owners in Tennessee. Kinder Morgan, which would build and operate the pipeline, expects to submit a pre-filing request to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission by the end of the year. The company plans to file its Federal Energy Regulatory certificate in the third quarter of next year. Kinder Morgan will ultimately need to obtain a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity before it starts construction. The regulatory commission will weigh market demand against potential impacts as it considers granting a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. 'A natural gas desert' The Southeast Connector pipeline will provide natural gas access in the short term with a longer-term boost to economic development, Kinder Morgan Vice President Allen Fore said. Kinder Morgan described areas southeast of

This Old-Fashioned Tennessee Butcher Shop Brings Farm-Fresh Meat Straight To The Town Square

Every steak in this butcher case comes from animals raised on the owner’s own farm, just a short drive away. That means the cattle, pigs, chickens, and lambs never pass through a giant middleman. I love the idea of knowing exactly which pasture my dinner came from. The man...

Discover the Only Tennessee Maple Farm Tapping Demand for Maple Syrup

The first winter after Candace Wiggin and her now-husband, Lucas, started dating, she was puzzled when his family gathered in the barn at their farm in Greene County to watch what appeared to be water boiling in a large metal pan. It was sap, explained her future in-laws, Don and Jody, and it would evaporate and turn to maple syrup. Each winter, they would give it away in Mason jars to neighbors and friends.

Data center boom could leave Americans 'on the hook' for big costs

The reporting was supported by a grant from the Pulitzer Center . MEMPHIS, TN — More than three decades after serving in Operation Desert Storm, Loretta Young Thornton never expected the sounds of war to follow her home. Thornton, 66, spent nearly 25 years in the Tennessee Army National Guard, serving as a military police officer before retiring as a decorated sergeant in 2004. She also built a career with the U.S. Postal Service. After a lifetime of work, she poured her savings into a modest, four-bedroom home built in the 1920s on a secluded two-acre lot in Memphis, near the Mississippi state line. She named it Serenity. When Thornton bought the house in 2014, the surrounding woods were home to deer, squirrels, hawks and wild turkeys. At night, she listened to the calls of owls, including one she affectionately called her boyfriend. Then the trees came down, sending clouds of dust swirling toward Thornton's home. In their place rose Colossus 2, a massive data center built for billionaire Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI. The sprawling complex, designed to house thousands of powerful computer chips to train the next generation of AI models, sits just across the railroad tracks

Proposal: Remove 4% sales tax on milk, eggs and bread

(The Center Square) – Removing the 4% state sales tax on bread, milk and eggs is in a proposal from Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton. The bill, cosponsored by House Republicans William Lamberth of Portland and Tim Hicks of Gray, does not include a fiscal note indicating how the bill would affect tax collections, according to the General Assembly's website. If it passes the General Assembly and is signed by the governor, it would take effect on July 1, 2027, according to the bill. Local sales tax, up to 2.75%, can be added to the state levy. Depending on the county or city, the total tax is 5.5% to 6.75%. Tennessee gets roughly $800 million in revenue from the state tax, according to state finance records. Sexton told The Center Square in an interview Oct. 27, before the bill was filed, that grocery taxes would be one of the issues lawmakers consider when they convene the 2027 legislative session. "We'll look at the grocery sales tax, maybe reduce it on some items like food staples and so forth or eliminate it altogether, continue to make our state attractive, continue investing in public education," Sexton said. "I am sure there will
