Champlain Hudson Power Express

Dear Catskill Residents,

 

The Champlain Hudson Power Express(“CHPE”) project is a 339 mile buried HVDC transmission line that will transmit clean hydro power from the Quebec border to Queens.  It is currently under construction across NY State including in the Town and Village of Catskill and elsewhere in Greene County.

As part of the construction of the project, CHPE will begin tree clearing in the Town and Village of Catskill on November 1^st.   

The project teams will be clearing from Browns Crossing Rd south, across the railroad, behind the Greene County DPW property, along Allen Street, along the west side of Rt 9W up to Jefferson Street, along West Main South, across Willow Street, and up to Depot Street. 

The properties being cleared have signed agreements with the CHPE project and have been compensated for removing trees. Property owners will determine whether trees will be replanted on their properties.

We apologize for any inconvenience and are committed to minimizing any impact on your comfort.  Please use extra caution when traveling near these crews.

Please notify the CHPE team at 800 991-2473 with any concerns or questions about the project. 

Thank you!
