The state Energy Facilities Siting Board hosted a hearing Wednesday night at the Abigail Adams Middle School in Weymouth, regarding a proposal to build a natural gas compressor near the Fore River Bridge.
Hundreds of people turned out at the hearing to show their opposition to the proposal.
Spectra Energy wants to build a compressor station for a natural gas pipeline at the Fore River Bridge near the MWRA pumping station.
Weymouth Mayor Sue Kay said the neighborhood could be severely impacted in the event of an emergency at the compressor station
