CHENANGO COUNTY – New York Regional Interconnect Inc. has provided the statistics, but the numbers may not measure the affect its direct current transmission line could have on the historical integrity and identity of Chenango County.

According to a report in NYRI’s Article VII filing, 265 areas of archeological and historical significance lie along or within one quarter mile, on either side, of New York Regional Interconnect Inc.’s proposed power line. The line would run through 44 miles of Chenango County on its way from Marcy down to Rock Tavern.
