In a letter to the editor, North Bergen resident Robert Walden says the electrical power plant coming the township is “a terrible idea” and “an insult to residents.”
Dear Editor,
The power plant would be located on 94th St. and Railroad Ave.
It has been reported that it will create 33 permanent jobs and it will bring tax revenue in.
It has also been reported that even though it will produce cleaner energy than fossil fuel plants, it will nonetheless spew emissions that are dangerous to humans, wildlife and the environment.
It will be unsightly, it will likely lower home values.
Incredibly, the power it will generate will not be for NJ, it will be for NY!
Why can’t 15 acres be put to better use?
15 acres can be used to create many more than 33 permanent jobs, and it can bring in tax revenue, and benefit North Bergen and NJ residents, not just NY residents.
Don’t let NB officials “sell us down the river”!
