Concerned About Gas-Drilling?
How will it impact You?
Rally at the
Otsego County Board Meeting
Wednesday, July 7, 9:30 a.m.
Meet in front of the County Office Building, 197 Main Street, Cooperstown
Tell our county government we are concerned about:
· Contaminated ground water
· Decreased property values
· Industrialization of our rural way of life
Conserve energy and CARPOOL!
Parking is tricky. Leave in time to park and arrive at the County Office Building by 9:30!
United We Stand, Divided We’re Fracked!
Above is a poster devised and posted locally by Jeri Wachter with info regarding a rally at Wednesday’s county board meeting. Please try to come so we can show our county government the depth and breadth of concern over the threat of hydrofracking. Try to enlist others to come with you. Carpool if possible.
Parking in Cooperstown is problematic in the summer. The spaces immediately in front of the building have a 2-hour limit (which should be enough, provided you find a space). Nelson Ave and Pine Blvd are good options for parking, with no time limit. You may wish to arive extra early. Cooperstown Diner and Doubleday Cafe have great breakfasts. The Stagecoach and Danny’s cafes are nice, too. Another option is to go via Oneonta, park in the public parking, and take the bus. Buses leave every hour, on the hour, so it’s recommended to take the 8 a.m. bus. Get your pass in OPT office, just across from Vic’s Service on Main St. Tell the bus driver you’re going to the county office building, and he/she will know where to let you off.
One response so far
I am very concerned about the horizontal hydro fracking happening in our country and in Otsego. My son and daughterinlaw and grandson live at a hot spot right in Springfield Center. They work in Cooperstown. I do go up to visit about ten times a year and want to help. I also am trying to bring awarness to people in NYC and Long Island since it will eventually, down the road, effect us and our children as well.
Please keep be aware and abreast to the most recent things going on and meetings, letters and people to contact etc. Thank You. Jill from Long Beach, L.I. 516-459-8685
