Kinder Morgan Officials Explain Planned Palmetto Pipeline
Troutman Sanders Strategies manager Lawrence Bell was mentioned in a September 8 Coastal Courier article that recapped questions audience members asked three Kinder Morgan representatives on September 5 in Midway, Georgia, about the Texas oil company’s proposed Palmetto Pipeline. That pipeline, if built, would stretch for 360 miles from Belton, South Carolina, to Jacksonville, Florida.
In a section talking about minority recruitment and Kinder Morgan, Lawrence who was on hand and who is helping with Kinder Morgan’s government-relations needs, said that as someone who used to work for a minority-owned engineering firm, he is particularly sensitive to seeing that companies like Kinder Morgan work as much as possible with minority-owned contractors and employ qualified minorities in quality jobs. He added: Kinder Morgan wants to know of local, minority-owned contractors it can work with as pipeline construction draws nearer.
