Ridgewood will receive a hearing on the PSE&G utility pole project, according to a representative of the state agency reviewing the village’s case.
The Board of Public Utilities (BPU) decision, which was communicated Thursday morning, comes in response to a petition Ridgewood filed on Aug. 15. That petition asked the BPU to review PSE&G’s 69-kilovolt transmission upgrade project, including its process and the project’s route and safety, and consider a public hearing on the matter.
“The lack of any review to this project by BPU or the local development boards fails to ensure the health and safety, environmental and financial concerns of the village and the affected rate payers in our community,” said Village Attorney Matt Rogers in his letter to the BPU.
The details of the hearing – the date of which has not yet been set – will be communicated soon, said the BPU representative, who did not want to be named.
