Center for Sustainable Rural Communities to Host Comment Writing Workshop Saturday March 22

The Center for Sustainable Rural Communities is sponsoring a Comment Writing Workshop to help area residents, public officials and agencies develop and submit formal comments to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) concerning the proposed Constitution Pipeline. (The deadline for submitting comments to FERC is April 7, 2014.)

This is an important opportunity for the community to send a strong message to FERC that the pipeline will negatively impact the safety, property values and quality of life of area residents. Join us on March 22, 2014 from 10 AM until 2 PM at the Center for Sustainable Rural Communities, 296 Main Street, Richmondville, NY.

Instructions for writing a simple comment letter will be presented by community activist Allegra Schecter. Computers, printers and other supplies will be provided and volunteers will be available to assist you. Refreshments will be served. Registration is necessary. To register please call toll-free: 1-800-795-1467 or email: rnied@ruarlcommunities.org.
