Opponents of High-Voltage Power Line - Project is Flawed

By Jason Smith

Utica, NY – ( note: Three of five P-S-C staff members are recommending that the full commission reject NYRI's proposed project. The staffers say the proposed route is not environmentally compatible. Also, a NYRI official did not return a WRVO phone call seeking comment on the latest development. )

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.

Stand with public media and make your gift today—not just for yourself, but for all who depend on WRVO as a trusted resource and civic cornerstone in central and upstate New York.
