Coalition to Stop the Proposed Danskammer Gas-Fired Expansion.

In direct contradiction to the goals of CLCPA, this plant would worsen air-quality in Newburgh, an already compromised environmental justice community, and exacerbate climate change. 25 municipalities have passed resolutions opposing this foolhardy project to burn fracked methane in an expanded facility on a flood-prone peninsula on the west shore of the Hudson. These include:

• Towns of Esopus, Gardiner, Hurley, City of Kingston, Town of Marbletown, Town and Village of New Paltz, Towns of Rosendale, Saugerties, Cornwall, City of Newburgh, City of Hudson, City of Beacon, Town of Clinton, City of Poughkeepsie, Village of Cold Spring, Town of Philipstown, Village of Suffern, Town of Greenough, Village of Hastings-on-Hudson, Village of Larchmont, Town of Mamaroneck, City of Mount Vernon, Town of New Castle, and the City of Peekskill. The Westchester County Legislators unanimously signed a litter of opposition and is now considering a resolution as well.
• We are currently working with the Towns of Fishkill, Hyde Park, Lagrange, Pleasant Valley, Putnam Valley, Rhinebeck, Wappingers Falls, and Woodstock, the Villages of Wappingers Falls, and Nyack and the Rockland County Legislature — and would welcome your help! Even if yours is not on the list, please contact mannajo@clearwater.org. Having a local community liaison is a valuable first step.
• More than 150 elected officials have signed a Letter to Governor Cuomo opposing the Danskammer expansion, If you know an elected official that hasn’t yet signed on, please urge them to do so, whether or not their municipality has passed a resolution. We are developing a general petition as well. Stay tuned.
