NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – The Metro Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to block a controversial gas pipeline in Joelton.

Gold T-shirts filled the meeting as a large crowd packed the council chambers for public comment on the proposed gas compressor.

Residents were upset with the location of choice, an 82-acre area near three other gas pipelines, and lack of communication on the project. Many say there are alternate locations available around the city of Nashville.

The company behind the gas compressor, Kinder Morgan, said they purchased the property from a local landowner and have a flawless safety record at their six Tennessee sites.
