One Jessup resident in favor of the new power plant, Hillary, explains how she came to support the Lackawanna Energy Center and its clean energy, community building mission:

“Nothing is more important to me than my children’s future. I live in Jessup because it is a nice quiet community. First time I heard about the Lackawanna Energy Center was two or three months ago. My initial reaction was a little apprehensive but I wanted to check the facts myself. I felt safe because I knew it was the cleanest energy. It would be a tremendous loss to Jessup if the power plant didn’t go through. This is one of the best opportunities Jessup has had in long time.”

Not only does local electric generation create a new industry for Jessup, it also means reliable power for homes and businesses that complements regional renewable energy resources. Jessup’s new industry also grows the economy with local hiring preference, offering 30 full time jobs and $3.5 million per year in annual payroll. These full time positions are in addition to 600 jobs that will be created during the construction of the new plant.
