North Rockland Businesses Receiving Compensation For CHPE Losses
Statement From County Executive Ed Day
“I’m pleased to hear that North Rockland businesses will receive $1 million in compensation for the financial losses caused by the Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE) pipeline project.
Back in October, I along with the Legislature made it clear we would withhold entering into a PILOT Agreement (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) with CHPE until meaningful relief was provided to those impacted.
This outcome is unquestionably the result of that action in addition to sustained advocacy by many, including Congressman Mike Lawler, Senator Bill Weber, Chairman Jay Hood, Minority Leader Lon Hofstein, former Stony Point Supervisor Jim Monaghan, myself & many others. I also want to thank our local residents and business owners who fought back and stayed on top of this to hold CHPE accountable.
The County will always stand firm in demanding accountability and protecting the people of Rockland.”
