Believing them to be a valuable resource for future pipeline fighters and community organizers, Friends of Nelson gathered its records on the fight against the ACP, as well as records from other people and organizations in western and central Virginia organized them, and deposited them with the Library of Virginia. The collection, Record of the Western and Central Virginia Resistance to the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, 2014-2021, is publicly available from the Library of Virginia.

Below are links to two FAQ sheets. The first is a general one about the ACP and pipelines (why oppose them, promises about jobs and revenue, gas prices, safety, etc.). The other answer questions landowners may have (property values, easements, eminent domain, restrictions on your use of your property, etc.), and may help you understand the law and your private property rights (or lack thereof). Please note that Friends of Nelson is not providing legal advice, but hopes to provide information landowners may find helpful in making their own decisions about how to proceed.
