        Siting Review

        The Massachusetts ESFB Petition Filing is part of the regulatory review process, as defined by Massachusetts state statutes.

        On February 28, 2018, we received approval from the EFSB to construct the project. See the EFSB 15-04 Final Decision.

        Community Outreach

        Before starting construction in a community, we mail start of construction letters to property owners along the route. In addition, door-to door outreach is done in advance of each major construction phase to keep property owners informed.
