Consolidated Cooperative Partners with Morrow County on Natural Gas Pipeline
Consolidated Cooperative signed an agreement with Morrow County to expand the natural gas service that supports the I71/SR61 interchange. This partnership is designed to pave the way for growth – both for Morrow County and Consolidated.
“As we continue to keep our targeted areas of growth in mind, I am encouraged to work with companies, like Consolidated Cooperative and to be able to think outside the box on how we can meet the current and future needs of our community,” said Jamie Brucker, Executive Director of the Morrow County Development Authority.
Consolidated brought natural gas to the I71/SR61 interchange decades ago, but demand from recent growth in the area has pushed their existing pipeline to the limits of what it can deliver. This location needs significant additional capacity to continue supporting projects that will enhance quality of life and bring jobs to the area.
As a not-for-profit cooperative, Consolidated has a long history of working to attract growth that helps improve life in the communities they serve. Morrow County stepped up as a partner on this project because the anticipated business growth stands to create numerous economic benefits for the entire county and surrounding areas.
“As Morrow County’s local, not-for-profit cooperative, we are proud of our nearly 90-year commitment to working alongside so many others who continue to strive to make our communities places where we can all prosper.” Shared Consolidated President and CEO, Phil Caskey. “This project is yet another shining example of the great work we all can do when we work together.”
Consolidated began construction in December 2024, and they expect to complete the 12-inch line in the third quarter of 2025.
