NYRI - Dead or Dying - Hancock Binghamton The Delaware River Safe

“Wonders of Wonders – Miracles of Miracles” (fiddler on the roof) or as Senator Charles E. Schumer said in a comment to news reporters – “Ding Dong the Witch is dead” (Wizard of Oz) – I am referring to NYRI’s withdrawal of the application to build the 190 mile power line through Hancock NY.

We were just gearing up to deliver our message of how this project would be devastating to Hancock and The Family Foundation School when we heard the Good News!

Here are some links for you plus a message from the STOP NYRI folks:

Here's what you can do today:

Step outside your door and take a look at the sky near your home and around your property.
It seems like there won't be any power lines blocking your view (at least for now) !


Remember: this was the second time these guys have tried to push this through, so there's no guarantee they're gone for good. Always remain vigilant and active.



Here are some key places to look for information and leadership on the issue:

Hancock - A Town, A Comunity, A Home

Hancock New York - Gateway to the Upper Delaware river and where the "Delaware Scenic Byway" (NY Route 97) begins. It's a community on the move toward a new and wonderful future.

In this Blog - I hope to serve as a spark that will get people communicating about the gifts of living in Hancock and the surrounding area (Delaware County NY).

To start off the conversation - Hancock is located where the head waters of the East and West branches of the Delaware River meet to form the full body of the river. They merge in a unique way creating an Island Mountain called Point Mountain. The Indian name for Hancock is Chehocton meaning "The wedding of the waters"

To anyone interested - please share your comments on the benefits of life in Hancock, its history or the Hancock community - Anything about Hancock - A great place to Live! ( http://www.hancocknewyork.com/ )
