Billerica Power Plant

As a town, you want to have businesses move in to provide jobs, and to pay taxes. The best senerio is to have a business that pays a lot of taxes but has little impact on the community. This power plant seems to be a perfect tenant. In fact, you probably won’t even see a car at it.

On the flip side, we do have residents that live near there and they are concerned with soot and potentionally poisonous vapors being sent into the air, out a smokestack. How will it effect them and their children? The power company says it’s safe. Agent orange was safe too, wasn’t it? Once this is built, there will be nothing we can do about it. How do you feel about it ?
