In March 2019 Flint Hills Resources notified the Dakota County Board of Commissioners and the Public Utilities Commission of its intent to construct a liquified petroleum gas (propane) pipeline that would traverse approximately five miles between the Wescott Gas Terminal in Inver Grove Heights and the Pine Bend Refinery in Rosemount via this route. Flint Hills Resources has compiled an Information Book that describes the project, any land that needs to be acquired, and the legal requirements that must be followed. The Public Utilities Commission approved the Information Book September 5.
The Dakota County Board has announced that it will hold a public hearing regarding the project on Thursday, October 17, at 5:30 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial Community Center, Community Room 1, in Inver Grove Heights.
