State Delays Decision On Power Plant In Greenpoint
State Delays Decision On Power Plant In Greenpoint
JUNE 06TH, 2004
Brooklyn residents will have to wait another month to find out if a power plant is coming to Greenpoint.
Tans Gas Energy wants to build an 1,100-megawatt plant on the Brooklyn waterfront.
The New York State Board on Electric Generation Siting and the Environment was supposed to make a final decision on the plant Saturday. But the decision was delayed because the board has to review a proposal from the gas company that would put the plant underground.
The Greenpoint-Williamsburg Waterfront Task Force, a group opposed to the power plant, calls the plan a fantasy.
The board is now expected to make a decision on July 8.
