Neighbors trying to block biomass plant

GREENFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - A proposed biomass plant in Greenfield is not definite, as next-door neighbors are threatening to end the project.

David Cunningham runs Applied Dyamics, a business that sells and services electrical motors, and plans to go to court to block the biomass facility that would be next door.

Cunningham says the condensation from the hundreds of thousands of gallons of water the biomass plant needs would damage his operation.

"We deal with electronics and a lot of electrical equipment, and we have difficulty keeping them test ready accurate because of the humidity in the air. And this is just going to add to the problem," said Cunningham.

Cunningham hopes his attempts to block the biomass plant could carry some weight.

He told 22News he has put his own expansion plans of doubling his work force of 50 on hold.
