Indian Point Task Force Meetings​ Coming Up In September

CORTLANDT, NY — There are two meetings coming up about the closure of Indian Point. The first is the task force convened by local government officials in the wake of Entergy's announcement that it would close both nuclear power plants by 2021. The second is the state task force appointed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Both are working on essential community issues, from property taxes to environmental security, from re-use of the site to storage of the spent fuel rods.

Both will be held in the Vincent Nyberg General Meeting Room at Cortlandt Town Hall.
