I do not believe that the New York supreme court's list of negatives that caused Laidlaw's site plan denial in New York can have a positive impact on real estate value with a plant this size in the middle of the city Berlin. Let us carefully examine the supreme court outcome of the impact of the very small Laidlaw Ellicotteville decision;

"The proposed Biomass Cogeneration Facility will have unavoidable adverse impacts on the community at unacceptable levels; is inconsistent with and will have a negative impact on the neighborhood character; presents a use inconsistent with the goals of the community as stated in the Town Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance; will create unacceptable noise levels; and significant air pollution emissions; all of which are significant, unmitigable environmental detriments; and therefore, for each of these reasons individually and collectively, as well as the others stated in this Statement of Findings and Decision, the Site Plan is denied.”
