CHENANGO COUNTY – The Albany-based company that has talked of running a high power line from Marcy to Rock Tavern, bisecting Chenango County, made its official application with the state Wednesday.

New York Regional Interconnect released a statement confirming they filed their Article VII Application with the New York State Public Service Commission seeking regulatory approval to build a 190 mile, 400 kV direct current (HVDC) transmission line from Oneida to Orange County. The application officially starts the approval process of a project that has garnered massive resistance since the company originally announced its intentions on March 30.
