A Westchester woman says she’s standing up for her community by standing in the way of construction crews extending a natural gas pipeline near Indian Point nuclear power plant.
Nancy Vann refused to leave her property Friday, stymieing efforts by crews to clear-cut an area of land near the Indian Point, where an energy company wants to place a gas pipeline. About six protesters with signs joined her Friday, as crews cut down large trees.
Vann stood within 300 feet of clearing crews working on the Algonquin Incremental Market (AIM) project, which expands a high-pressure pipeline close to the nuclear plant, 25 miles north of New York City.
