Pulteney residents: Take your business elsewhere

Pulteney, N.Y.

More than 100 town of Pulteney residents attending a standing-room-only meeting Wednesday told the Town Board not to do business with Chesapeake Energy.

The board required little prompting to oppose Chesapeake’s plan to build a wastewater facility in the town – but stopped short of a passing a preliminary resolution to enact a moratorium on any wastewater projects.

Instead, the board unanimously passed a resolution to lay the groundwork for a moratorium, including the length of time needed to draw up land use regulations, road use agreements, and other issues.

“I think everybody here, everybody in town, should just write letters to (Chesapeake CEO Aubrey K.) McClendon telling him we don’t want him here,” said one resident, who was concerned a moratorium would not be enough to keep the wasterwater facility out of Pulteney.
