Thanks to everyone who helped pass this historic measure:
A major victory for New York! Big thank you from @riverkeeper to everyone who worked tirelessly to pass #NYBondAct & to all the voters who value clean water, clean air & a greener economy.

Victor Rojas of Premium Energy was just interviewed on @WAMC and SAID that he withdrew the application via a letter to FERC. BUT, we have not gotten any confirmation, or SEEN that letter. We're waiting till Town officials get officially notified to celebrate.
