Deerfield Residents Raising Funds to Fight Northern Pass

by Melissa Proulx, Union Leader

By the end of the meeting that more than two dozen residents attended, Barry estimated about $600 had been donated.

This was the second time in a week residents have weighed in on hiring an attorney. 

Barry estimated last Tuesday that 95 percent of the 300 residents who attended were in favor of the move.

Northern Pass is a 192-mile transmission line project that could bring 1,090 megawatts of hydro-power from Canada to New Hampshire, according to the project’s website.

The proposed line — which would be above and below ground — would go through the middle of the Granite State, through more than 30 towns and cities, including Deerfield.
