Lawmakers Propose Natural Gas Infrastructure Incentives

A plan to establish loans for local governments and a tax break for natural gas companies to extend the fossil fuel to more Ohio communities is currently under consideration in the Ohio House.

House Bill 349, sponsored by State Reps. Tim Barhorst (R-Fort Loramie) and Don Jones (R-Freeport) would allocate $20 million for a revolving loan program to aid local governments with acquiring natural gas pipeline easements in such zones. 4/17/2024
