Hydro power
U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown has written a letter on Hamilton’s behalf to the Chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Brown is trying to help urge the commission along to allow city officials to get started on the hydroelectric plant on the Meldahl Lock and Dam on the Ohio River.
Brown’s letter is probably due to the fact that several city officials went to Washington D.C. at the end of February to lobby for support for the project. Timing is everything, City Manager Mark Brandenburger has told me. A year’s delay in the project could cost an estimted $9 million as construction costs continue to rise.
Consequently, Brown urges the commissioner to make a final decision in a “timely manner.”
