"On Staten Island, we have the entire West Shore, which is an industrial area. There are no homes. That would be the ideal place to put it," Assemblyman Sam Pirozzolo said.


"On Staten Island, we have the entire West Shore, which is an industrial area. There are no homes. That would be the ideal place to put it," Assemblyman Sam Pirozzolo said. Pirozzolo has introduced legislation requiring sites to be built 1,000 feet from homes. In the meantime, he urges residents to monitor local permits and public filings. "Number one, none of them are the same. Every particular battery site has its conditions that are met for that particular location," Pirozzolo said. He says people should verify every step of the regulatory and notification process, and if a particular project isn't right for your community, organize early and be loud. submitted by /u/HEIMDVLLR [link] [comments]
