Legal Appeal and Protest Target Wawayanda Energy Plant
|Updated:

WAWAYANDA—A press conference at the entrance to the CPV Valley Energy Center construction site in Wawayanda on Dec. 18 turned into a protest that ended with the arrest of six protesters, including actor James Cromwell.

Representing local residents who oppose the project, Attorney Michael Sussman held a press conference near the site entrance. After his statements to the press, Sussman left for the New York Court of Appeals, Second Department, in Brooklyn, to file an appeal of a lawsuit seeking to stop the energy plant’s construction.

The people of this community should not be sacrificed for someone's profits
