Along the proposed Palmetto Pipeline route, from places such as Sylvania and Springfield, concerned residents will drive Tuesday to Richmond Hill for the first real Georgia Department of Transportation hearing on the project. Kinder Morgan, the company planning to build the $1 billion motor-fuel pipeline from northwestern South Carolina to Jacksonville, Florida, held six previous meetings for public input. These included a meeting March 10 at Sylvania in Screven County and another March 31 near Springfield in Effingham County.
