A Town Hall Meeting is set for 7 tonight in Stony Point to discuss the proposed Champlain Hudson Power Express project.
“There is great public interest in our Town about this project," said Stony Point Supervisor Geoff Finn. "As Supervisor, I believe it is important to have all Town residents hear directly from the source about this project. Therefore, I have invited representatives of Champlain Hudson Power Express to be present in person to answer any questions that Town residents have about this Project.”
The proposed 330-mile line, which would run from Quebec to Queens, would provide electric power to the Hudson Valley. The line would run under the Hudson River, and would be routed to land at Tomkins Cove to avoid disruption of the environmentally sensitive Haverstraw Bay, and continue through Stony Point and Haverstraw and head back into the river an at exit point at Clarkstown’s Rockland Lake.
The U.S. Department of Energy on June 15 ended the supplemental scoping period for the Environmental Impact Statement for this project.
