STATEMENT FROM SENATOR SCHUMER ON KRENZER FAMILY FARM

Senator Schumer Today Issued The Following Statement:

“The Krenzer family has been farming this land for four generations, and after three years of work, today we have a solution that lets the power flow and the crops grow.

When I stood at the farm with Marie and Dave Krenzer and their family back in 2013 we said we’d fight for a win-win plan to construct these powerlines and electric substation in a way that would protect local properties, the Krenzer Family Farm and RG&E’s plan to boost Rochester’s electric capacity all at the same time.  Today’s approval by the New York State Public Service Commission of this win-win agreement is the victory we needed,” said U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer.
