Ready Report: MPRP Public Meeting & Listening Session – Thursday Night
Below is an update, including a reminder about the August 22nd MPRP Public Meeting, as well as some information about what is going on around the county.
MPRP Public Meeting – w/Carroll Delegation & County Commissioners – August 22nd
The Board of Commissioners (BoC) and the Carroll County Delegation will hold a joint listening session regarding the Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project on Thursday, August 22, 2024, from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm at the Carroll County Agriculture Center, 706 Agricultural Center Dr, Westminster, MD 21157.
All five Carroll County Commissioners and all six members of the Carroll County Delegation (me, Delegates Bouchat, Rose & Tomlinson, Senator West & Delegate Stonko) oppose the Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project. This meeting and listening session is an opportunity for the public to voice their concerns and for us to share more about our local and state level efforts to stop this project’s trajectory and move this line off of farm land and private property. We want to propose better solutions and be able to better take the entire community’s concerns to the Public Service Commission.
NOTE: PSEG will not be present at this meeting – the purpose of this meeting is to discuss and listen to how we can stop or at the very least redirect and move this project. The County Commissioners are working on finalizing a September meeting where the public will be able to question PSEG representatives and hear additional information from them. That date should be announced soon and I will share it with you.
