One Hearing is Not Enough!
Send request to EFSB NOW for extended process

The EFSB plans to hold only one public comment hearing for Eversource's Springfield / Longmeadow pipeline.

This hearing is NOT being held in Springfield or Longmeadow where the people most directly impacted live, work and attend school, is scheduled in the midst of the holiday season, and is one of the final acts of the Baker administration.

Write to the EFSB NOW to press for and extended comment period and ON LOCATION hearings in affected towns.

Please join the Springfield City Council, Longmeadow Select Board, Longmeadow Pipeline Awareness Group, BEAT / No Fracked Gas in Mass and others in making these requests. Sample comments and where to send them here.
