June 8th Power Line Meeting, Sherburne, 7 pm
The power line issue from our side of the fence
The facts and figures of a controversial proposal by New York Regional Interconnection (NYRI) to construct high voltage power lines from Utica, NY to Rock Tavern, NY will be the subject of a meeting on Thursday, June 8 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the Sherburne-Earlville High School Auditorium, 15 School Street in Sherburne, NY.
This vital information will be presented by representatives from the Upper Delaware Preservation Coalition (UDPC) and is being co-sponsored by the Chenango County Farm Bureau and the Chenango County Chamber of Commerce. Residents from throughout the region are encouraged to attend this meeting which is being held as a public service to help provide citizens with the knowledge they will need to make an informed judgment about the value of this particular power project.
The goal of NYRI, a Canadian based corporation, is to move electricity generated in Canada to a substation in Orange County, New York, where it would be sold and distributed to the wholesale electricity network serving the Northeast grid. NYRI will file with the New York State Public Service Commission for approval to construct 140-foot towers connected with direct current electrical transmission lines through 200 miles of fragile ecosystems, farmlands, historic towns and villages.
