Open House Public Outreach

Question / Comment: Response:

·         This proposal will have deep effects on the community, and the community deserves an adequate opportunity to register their complaints.  We believe the October 11 date, which was chosen, failed to meet that requirement because it is, one, an election day and two, the anniversary of our tragedy.

·         It’s disgusting that you filed your application two days after the World Trade Center disaster.

·         This meeting should not count as a community information meeting because it was scheduled on election night with very poor notice. It has not fulfilled the function of informing the community about the proposal. Holding this event should not reduce the obligations of the developer to hold additional community notification meetings.

·         NCMC is not aware of a tentative meeting schedule with TransGas as stated in the PSS. Community residents did not receive a TransGas mailing.

·         I would like to point out that it’s important to really reach out to the residents that are right around the proposed facility. The North side should be included in mailings in the future.

·         I expected more of your presentation and it’s a little disappointing.

The meeting in October was the first of a series. TGE will be holding more events to provide the community opportunities to express their views.  A town hall meeting is planned for November 28th at the Polish National Home from 6-10 PM at 261 Driggs Avenue from 6 to 7 p.m.  There will be time for people who did not attend the first meeting to view the displays and talk to members of the team. Following that, at 7 p.m. there will be a presentation and an opportunity for questions and answers. ].  The mailing for this town hall meeting is being increased fourfold.   Residents around the project site are being notified either by mail or by having a notice dropped off at their building.  In addition to these formats, TGE will continue its efforts to meet with civic organizations and other groups and will make themselves available to speak by invitation, as well.
