Hello to all,
Just wanted to let you all know that we are still alive and kicking. I was gone for the past 2 weeks and when I returned learned, via this site, I am now the Chair instead of Co-Chair.
So let me update you from my perspective. I think all of you realize that this is a political situation and things were on hold till the election. Well, the election is over and we have good results. Todd Cowan was elected Mayor. I spoke with Todd yesterday regarding the Bio-En facility. Todd assures me now that he has the official title to represent the citizens of Elmira he will soon be in contact with the appropriate Ministries to set up a meeting(s) to discuss a different location for the Bio-En facility. He favors moving it as much as we do and we will be working to make that happen. I’ll keep you posted on progress.
In the meantime, I feel it is very important that we keep up the letters and emails to make our presence known and not forgotten. In addition, we should be vigilant to make sure we don’t miss the posting of the notice that the application from Bio-En has been accepted. We certainly want to file our protests and challenges within the allotted time frame.
Thanks for your continued interest and support. It is encouraging to see that our signs are still up and making an impact.
Dan
