A majority of city councilors appear to support an amendment to South Portland’s fire codes that would require any new propane distribution facility to be located outside a minimum safe distance from critical infrastructure.
Such a change could have negative consequences for a proposed liquid propane distribution facility at the Rigby Rail Yard, which is not far from the city’s Cash Corner fire station.
NGL Supply Co. wants to move its operations from the Portland waterfront to South Portland’s rail yard. However, in addition to possibly being subject to the new fire code amendment, the project may also be subject to a pending moratorium.
On Jan. 12, the South Portland Planning Board is scheduled to hold a public hearing on a moratorium that would prevent the NGL project from moving forward for at least another six months. For the full article click here
