NYRI - A real threat to our town

On April 28th the Public Service Commission (PSC) along with members of the Communities Against Regional Interconnect (CARI) and administrative Law Judges will be stopping by Hancock and in particular stopping to see The Family Foundation School. They wish to see the sites in our area that will be impacted by the construction of the NYRI power lines.

In opposition to the NYRI project New York State has on its side - the nonprofit group - CARI which is spearheading the fight. I share this information so that any readers can, if so inclined, lend their aid to CARI in anyway possible. You need to know that the consequence to Hancock and to Delaware County will be devastating if NYRI get to build their power lines through this area.

One of the potential casualties could be The Family Foundation School which employs 120 Full time employees and if closed, 200 struggling teens currently on a therapeutic path toward a productive life will loose their opportunity to attend the North East’s leading Therapeutic Boarding School. Please help prevent this with your support of CARI.
