The legislature approved the final scoping document for Legacy Village’s Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on November 17th at its legislative meeting. The vote passed 13-4-1 (Cooper not present).
Legislator’s Browning, Eddington, Kennedy, and Romaine voted against the bill. Earlier this year County Executive Levy funded $435,000 for Cameron Engineering to conduct the EIS. The EIS was started in the summer and has been worked on while public comment was still being collected.
Now that the scoping document has been approved the Levy administration is fast tracking this to be finalized. The legislature was told by Levy’s deputy that they expect the EIS to be before CEQ in February 2011 and before the legislature in March 2011.
Please keep your calendars on notice because a strong turnout at CEQ and the legislature early next year is going to be very important. I will let you know as soon as we have more detailed information.
