“Thank you for expressing your concerns regarding PSEG Long Island's overhead transmission project in Port Washington. I am acutely aware of the situation and the impact this project has had on the residential and commercial areas of the Port Washington community. I have personally spoken to the Governor about the situation and recently sent him a letter requesting that he have the Public Service Commission Chairwoman, Audrey Zibelman, intercede and afford the same opportunity to Port Washington as was given to East Hampton with regards to exploring solutions to our energy future on the peninsula. I have also sent a letter to PSEG Long Island President and COO David Daly expressing my outrage over the lack of transparency and public discourse surrounding this project. Given the nature of this project, I strongly believe that PSEG should have convened public forums prior to the start of the project as well as made a greater effort in notifying area residents about the placement of the 80 foot poles and the reasoning behind their installation. In my letter, I requested that in the future, PSEG bring all the stakeholders to the table, including the public, before starting a project that has the potential for significant community impacts. I also asked Mr. Daly to make public PSEG's plans for replacing the vegetation that was damaged during the project. Sincerely, Michelle Schimel Member of the Assembly 16th District ”
