"It's a great day for Dunkirk," state Sen. Catharine Young proclaimed in front of a group of 250 residents and officials gathered at the city pier in Dunkirk.
With NRG Energy Inc. serving as a backdrop, the conference was to announce big happenings: a potential $700 million investment in the Dunkirk plant by the company. A large portion of the massive project includes using natural gas to power the facility.

Send calls and e-mails to Cuomo and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver - as many of you did in March to support the NRG facility. Here is their contact information:
