• Massachusetts residents push back as Eversource seeks a wider power corridor through wetlands (thecooldown.com) — A major Eversource power-line project would widen a transmission corridor running to the Ludlow substation, prompting Western Massachusetts residents to urge Governor Maura Healey to intervene.
