Plans for a floating natural gas terminal on Long Island Sound, which would be midway between Wading River and the Connecticut shoreline, will be discussed Monday, Sept. 10, at the Huntington Yacht Club.
A panel hosted by the Huntington Township Chamber of Commerce will discuss the potential benefits and community concerns involved in the Broadwater Project, which was first proposed in November 2004. The panel will feature Froydis Cameron from Broadwater Energy and Adrienne Esposito from Citizen’s Campaign for the Environment, who will discuss the potential benefits and community concerns related to the Broadwater Project.
The folks behind Broadwater and an unrelated plan for a terminal off Long Beach contend that additional gas supplies in the region will help keep prices more stable. Local environmentalists and some politicians have opposed to the 1,200-foot-long floating gas barge proposed for the Sound.
The panel will meet from 7:00-8:30 p.m. at the yacht club, 95 East Shore Road in Huntington. For registration information contact the chamber at 631-423-6100 or email Info@HuntingtonChamber.com
