康涅狄格州选址委员会驳回联合照明公司电杆申请 布里奇波特市长 Ganim 表示欢迎
康涅狄格州费尔菲尔德县布里奇波特市（Bridgeport）— 康涅狄格州选址委员会11月9日驳回联合照明公司（United Illuminating）沿大都会北方铁路线安装单杆输电塔的申请，布里奇波特市长 Joseph Ganim 当天发表声明表示欢迎。
Ganim 在声明中说，选址委员会听取了布里奇波特与费尔菲尔德两市官员和居民在2023年方案最初提交时未被听到的意见；若联合照明公司想继续推进这一项目，就必须与两市进行充分的公众沟通。
Ganim 坚持认为，如要建设这一项目，应当采用地下敷设方式，并表示愿意与联合照明公司就可接受的地下替代方案真诚谈判。选址委员会是康涅狄格州负责审批能源与电信基础设施选址的专门机构。
Connecticut Siting Council Rejects United Illuminating Monopole Plan; Bridgeport Mayor Ganim Welcomes Decision
BRIDGEPORT, Fairfield County, Connecticut — The Connecticut Siting Council on November 9 rejected United Illuminating's application to install monopoles along the Metro-North railroad, and Bridgeport Mayor Joseph Ganim issued a statement welcoming the decision.
Ganim said the Siting Council heard the concerns of Bridgeport and Fairfield officials and residents, who were not heard when the proposal was originally filed in 2023. If United Illuminating wants to pursue the project, he said, it will now have to meaningfully engage both cities in a robust public process.
Ganim said that if the project is built, it should be built underground, and that he is ready to negotiate in good faith toward an acceptable below-ground alternative. The Siting Council is Connecticut's specialized body for approving energy and telecommunications infrastructure siting.
