(WZTV) — The Boring Company said the Music City Loop would benefit the environment, despite concerns from outside groups and issues in Las Vegas. CEO Steve Davis said a third-party environmental impact analysis (EIA) will be released no later than December 15th. Although Davis said there won't be any environmental issues, since the company was reportedly fined nearly half a million dollars for violations in Las Vegas, some people are skeptical. The Music City Loop, by the Boring Company, is on the horizon, but the underground tunnel proposed to stretch from Downtown Nashville to the airport has raised concerns that it'll negatively impact the environment. In a public Q&A on X from November 24th, Davis argues the opposite. "The tunneling is probably the environmentally best possible way to build," he said. In the audio, Davis claimed the tunnel will lower greenhouse emissions and improve air quality. "Positive impact in transportation and air quality, greenhouse gas reduction, economic growth, etc," he said. However, Metro Council member Sandy Ewing doesn't buy it. "Well, when they say things like this, this won't impact the environment, or it will actually be good for the environment, there's no evidence based on their one project that actually has moved forward that this is going to be true," she said. That project she is referring to is the Boring Company's tunnel in Las Vegas. Read more online: _______________ Follow! Like! Share! Subscribe!
