Slingerlands Power Issues Meeting

Power issues are no new matter for some Slingerlands residents.  So on Thursday night, Slingerlands residents got together with National Grid to talk about plans to tackle this recurring problem.  The meeting was a spinoff from an earlier meeting about the townwide ice storm that happened a few months back.  

Residents have complained about have frequent power outages and it was identified at the meeting that there are aggressive plans to start the process of a permanent fix.  Residents from Carstead, Devomshire, North and South Helderberg, Thorndale and other streets had a lot to say about what has to be done so far and there was a lot of feedback saying that National Grid needs to do more.  National Grid made some commitments towards trrying to fix the problem and we will keep an eye on making sure this all gets resolved favorably for town residents.
