On Friday afternoon, a federal judge in Boston issued a ruling that will pause construction on one segment of the Clean Energy Corridor while the judge reviews the permit issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Construction on the other two segments will proceed as planned. Below is a statement from NECEC on the decision:
“This project has been through a number of court challenges and the significant economic and environmental benefits of this project to Maine and the region remain strong. While this legal process plays out, we will not be conducting construction activities in segment one of the line.”
