MEDFORD (AP) — Jackson County commissioners say they may oppose the natural gas pipeline proposed to link to a proposed liquefied natural gas plant in Coos Bay. They have doubts about the long-term economic benefits to Southern Oregon.

The commissioners are considering sending a request to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to halt all proposed pipeline projects in Oregon until completion of an independent environmental review and economic assessment.

The commissioners say they also oppose the 230-mile pipeline because it may require the use of eminent domain to cross public and private lands in Coos, Douglas, Jackson and Klamath counties.

The pipeline proposal would include a terminal at Jordan Cove on Coos Bay’s North Spit, where ships carrying liquefied natural gas would unload their cargo.
