FORUM PLANNED DEC. 31

Chamber To Enter

Local Energy Debate

ONEONTA – With the local debate raging over XNG trucks and a natural-gas decompression station suggested for the Pony Farm Business Park, the Otsego County Chamber of Commerce is entering the discussion of future energy needs.

The chamber announced it will host an Energy Infrastructure Summit 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 31, at The Otesaga.  Registration details will be sent to chamber members.

“We recognize that the creation and execution of a county-wide energy infrastructure plan will require communication, consensus building and teamwork, involving all community stakeholders,” said chamber President Barbara Ann Heegan.  “By coming together, we will shape strategies for an energy roadmap that will create economic advantage, mitigate climate change and improve energy performance.”
