Champlain Hudson Power Express Opens Rockland County Office
Located in Haverstraw, the Office Will Serve as a Source of Information to the Local Community
Haverstraw, NY – The Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE) today announced that the project has opened a new office in Rockland County dedicated to community engagement and outreach, which creates a new resource for community members who are interested in learning more about the project and its construction.
The new office, located at 1 Railroad Sq Haverstraw, NY 10927, officially opened on Tuesday September 17thh, and regular office hours will be 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, Monday – Friday.
CHPE is actively under construction in Rockland County with work underway, or planned, in the Towns of Stony Point, Haverstraw, and Clarkstown, and the Villages of West Haverstraw and Haverstraw. This new Rockland County office will provide information on the project and offer the ability for residents and business owners to ask questions or pose concerns in person.
The project kicked off construction in November 2022, and work began in Rockland County this summer. The project will be in service in May of 2026, and in an effort to reduce traffic impacts and condense the construction timeline, CHPE’s construction crews will be working around the clock, including during the night in areas of Rockland County.
In addition to this new office, the project also maintains a toll-free, 24-hour telephone hotline (800) 991-CHPE (2473) and email address publicoutreach@chpexpress.com.
