English Station Cleanup To Resume; Mayor Elicker Defends Plan

https://www.newhavenindependent.org/2025/10/01/english-station-cleanup-to-resume-elicker-defends-park-pool-plan/

United Illuminating is preparing for six months of new remediation work addressing PCBs, petroleum hydrocarbons, and arsenic-contaminated soil at the old English Station site at 510 Grand Ave. Mayor Justin Elicker continues defending his controversial proposal to convert the contaminated 8.6-acre former coal and oil-fired power plant into a public park and outdoor pool. At Tuesday's mayoral debate, Elicker argued the capped site would be safe and provide swimming opportunities for young people, while Republican challenger Steve Orosco called for the site to become a "revenue-generating machine" with manufacturing jobs.

The Fairfield County Monopole Battle, Explained

The Connecticut Siting Council's consideration of United Illuminating's monopole project has sparked over two years of bipartisan opposition from lawmakers and Fairfield County residents. After a Superior Court judge ruled in April that the council wrongly approved the project without community input, the council voted again in September via straw poll to support the same plan. Governor Ned Lamont intervened asking for a delay, stating he wouldn't "let UI rush into a bad decision." The 195-foot monopoles would require utility easements from homes, businesses, and historical sites including the Pequot Library and Shiloh Baptist Church. Source: wshu.org
