Seneca at a Crossroads
Event Details
An open invitation to all who love the Finger Lakes:
Seneca at a Crossroads: Large-Scale LPG Storage vs. Tourism, Wineries, Peace and Quiet
Do we want to be the gas storage and transport hub of the Northeast?
Do we want LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) stored in our salt caverns?
Or do we want agriculture, tourism, home-grown businesses and small-town living?
Can industry co-exist with our way of life?
What is Inergy's proposal, including a 14 acre open brine pit?
What will the increased truck traffic mean for our roads?
How will this impact our property values, our water, our lake?
