Saugerties pipeline meeting cancelled

An informational meeting on the Pilgrim Pipeline scheduled for Thursday, June 18 has been cancelled. The town did not say if the meeting would be rescheduled.

The meeting concerned a proposed oil pipeline from Albany to New Jersey which would pass through Saugerties. Many other towns have taken a position already. The Saugerties Town Board has said it wants to hold a meeting first.

Speakers from the company as well as Riverkeeper, Catskill Mountainkeeper and Citizens Against Pilgrim Pipeline were to speak, and a period for public comment was scheduled.
