All aboard

David Borton retired from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to work full-time on his business, which he calls Solar Sal. A former engineering professor, Mr. Borton enjoys speaking with Schodack students as much as working on his boat.

A pipeline through Schodack?

There is a public information session coming up, hosted by the company Kinder Morgan, on Monday, February 9, from 6 - 8 pm at Green Meadow Elementary.  

The original plan for expansion was along the existing pipeline route, and that crosses through Schodack from west to east.  Now the company wants to lay the new pipe along a power line right-of-way, and with this alternative plan they are planning to build a new compression station in Rensselaer County, quite possibly in Schodack.  

The same company has a compression station along Route 66 in Chatham already.

The company's filed plans show that the compression station could be in the area between Routes 9 and 20 (south of the split) near Shufelt Rd.
