PSC Schedules Informational Forums & Public Statement Hearings on NYES Project

Sept. 23, 2020

The New York State Public Service Commission has scheduled two virtual Informational Forums & Public Statement Hearings to allow interested parties to provide comments on the proposed project. The Forums & Hearings will be held on Webex.com on Wednesday, October 14, at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. Information on how to register and provide comments during these virtual sessions, or via the Commission website and phone line or U.S. mail, can be found on pages 4-6 of this public notice.

The scheduling of the Informational Forums & Public Statement Hearings comes after New York Transco reached agreement on a Joint Proposal that resolves all issues under discussion with the signatory parties: Staff of the Department of Public Service, the Department of Environmental Conservation, the Department of Agriculture and Markets, ConEd and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local Union No. 97. The parties agree that the Joint Proposal contain safeguards that avoid or minimize potential environmental impacts of the project.
