LANCASTER -- A Coos County Superior Court judge has ruled against the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests in its efforts to block construction of the Northern Pass hydroelectric project.
Judge Lawrence A. MacLeod on May 26 granted summary judgment in favor of Northern Pass in a lawsuit aimed at establishing the society’s property rights along the proposed route.
The forest society had filed suit in Coos County over plans by Northern Pass partners to bury portions of the high-power transmission lines beneath Route 3 in Clarksville.
The society owns the land, known as the Washburn Family Forest, along the section of Route 3 at issue.
