Dear Supporter,
Thank you for signing the Community H.O.P.E Petition to STOP Construction of 300MW Hazardous Battery Energy Storage (BESS) in Groveland Twp Holly by Vesper. Below is an update from the most current board meeting.
On Tuesday October 14th, the Groveland Twp Board voted 4-0 to rescind the option to lease to Vesper Energy aka Woodson Energy at Site B off Grange Hall Rd across from the Mines of Oakland. One vote abstained, due to conflict of interest. The trustee who abstained works at the same place as 2 employees from the PEA Group that were present with Vesper Energy representative at Groveland Twp board meeting September 3rd
