I have family that live in Ellicotville. They live on Peth Rd just off of 219, I called them, to ask about the proposal and heavy opposition and they said it was a few of the well to do politicians grandstanding and that it should pass. They dismissed the claims about Bartosek changing plans mid stream and were pretty sure he had local ties to the area and wouldn't do that. They said there is a Bartosek family in Salamanca about 4 miles away that had a kid play football and try out the past 2 years for the INDY Colts at tight end(pretty well respected family). If they are related I would doubt that he would lie to this community in fact I think his local ties may have been what brought this tremendous oppurtunit to this area. Thurs. I plan on calling the mayor of ellicotville and the head of the planning board Carol Horowitz and see what info I can get, I will post whatever I find out.

I believe we are a little past that.
With the government backing we should be in the green.. ;~)

Existing vetted and peer-reviewed scientific research from SUNY-ESF and others including the
United States Department of Energy's, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) clearly
maintains that woody biomass resources have distinct technical, economic, and environmental
advantages. According to NREL, "biomass power provides significant environmental benefits
over conventional fossil-based power systems." In particular, biomass systems can significantly
reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that are produced per kWh of electricity generated.
Additionally, because biomass systems use renewable energy instead of non-renewable fossil
fuels, they consume very small quantities of natural resources and have a very positive net
energy balance. Presently, Cattaraugus County, New York is heavily dependent on some of New
York State's most fossil-fuel intensive generation for their electricity. Replacing coal with
biomass offers us the opportunity to reduce the environmental burden's associated with coalfired
power systems that currently generate over half of the electricity in the United States.
Finally, by significantly reducing NOx, Sox, CO2, and particulates, biomass power improves
local air quality.
Deputy Mayor Brogcinski, the Laidlaw Energy Group's Ellicottville Biomass Project felt it was
important to share these research-based and scientifically verifiable facts with you, in order to
aid and support you in making informed leadership decisions.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If we can be of any further assistance please do not
hesitate to call on me.
Sincerely,
Michael B. Bartoszek
President & CEO

Looks to me like that site started in 2005
Updated 2006. Of course they probably won't say any of the benefits fact of the company.
