Appointment of Jason Hoch to Yankee Rowe Community Advisory Board

Post date: Oct 22, 2018 2:34:50 PM

Earlier this year, Anne Skinner advised that she was seeking a replacement as Williamstown's representative to the Yankee Rowe Community Advisory Board. At this time, the Board meets once a year for an annual status update, so it is not an overly burdensome commitment. We were not exactly overrun with interested in parties for this vacancy. Over the years, I've been connected to a surprising number of electric and utility related issues and was personally interested in this. I spent some time with Anne this summer getting some background on the site and the issues over the years (She has represented Williamstown since the start of the program.) She has handed off a pile of significant documents related to the committee and the site.

Last month, Anne and I visited the site and I received a tour and got a background briefing from their government relations manager.

Given the past practice, it would appear that this term is indefinite and as I noted above it does not appear that it will be significant burden of time and attention.
