Public Information Sessions Set for Northern Pass

January meetings to be held in five counties

December 23, 2015

CONCORD — The N.H. Site Evaluation Committee has scheduled five public information sessions about Northern Pass's application to construct a transmission line through New Hampshire.  

Under state law, the sessions must be held in each county in which the proposed facility is proposed to be located within 45 days of a project’s application being accepted.

Similar to the sessions held in September, they give residents an opportunity to participate in the state process.

Before and during the sessions, Northern Pass will also host an open house for residents who wish to learn more about the project and meet with project representatives one-on-one.

The open houses will begin at 5 p.m., followed by the public sessions at 6 p.m. at each of the following venues:

• Merrimack County: 6 p.m., Jan. 11, Franklin Opera House, 316 Central St., Franklin.

• Rockingham County: 6 p.m. Jan. 13, Londonderry High School, 295 Mammoth Road, Londonderry.
