Schedule for Counsel for the Public Workshops on Northern Pass

Counsel for the Public to Conduct Community Workshops with Scenic and Historic Resources Experts for Proposed Northern Pass Transmission Project

Peter C.L. Roth of the New Hampshire Office of the Attorney General, acting as Counsel for the Public, represents the interests of the public in the Site Evaluation Committee (SEC) proceeding to review the application of the Northern Pass transmission project (NP Project). Mr. Roth has engaged experts to provide evidence on the NP Project's potential impacts on the State's scenic, historic and cultural resources. The SEC must consider these impacts in assessing proposed energy projects.

Community members are invited to participate in structured workshops to identify places and areas of beauty, use, history, and tradition that are within ten miles of the proposed Northern Pass transmission corridor that may be affected by the NP Project.

These workshops include a short presentation by the experts. Then, those present will break into small groups representing the communities present and use maps, forms and discussions to identify, and describe resources, places or areas important to them and their communities. The workshops are opportunities to work together rather than give estimony or make comments about the NP Project.

The Workshops will be held on:

Tuesday, July 26, 2016, at 6:00 p.m.
Ashland Elementary School Auditorium (access on Highland Street),
16 Education Dr., Ashland
