Brunswick residents chide National Grid over proposed natural gas transfer station

WRGB · last updated

RENSSELAER COUNTY — (WRGB) — Truck traffic, quality of life and safety are three growing concerns in Brunswick as residents speak out against a proposed natural gas transfer station by National Grid.

Rensselaer County says it would take up 11 to 12 acres near the Pleasantview Avenue neighborhoods.

Several residents spoke out against the proposal on Wednesday night.

A resolution sponsored by Democratic legislators in Rensselaer County seeks to deny National Grid a special use permit for the project.

Renderings by National Grid show what the transfer station would look like.

In addition to its proximity to neighborhoods, residents are also concerned about the potential for more truck traffic through nearby Troy.

CBS6 reached out to National Grid about these claims; they say to expect a statement, though we have not yet received one.
