Kickoff on the Turf and Roll of the Dice Tonight
Sea Cliff, NY · September 10, 2026
A light morning mist is hovering over the shoreline, but the damp start will not slow down this afternoon's kickoff or tonight's open game tables.
The Lead
Village officials and environmental coalitions across the North Shore are mounting renewed legal resistance against the proposed $3.26 billion Propel NY Energy transmission project, citing mounting risks to Hempstead Harbor's delicate marine ecosystem. The state-backed plan proposes running submarine high-voltage cables beneath the harbor floor to link regional electric networks, but municipal filings argue that trenching would wipe out recovering hard clam beds and stir up dormant contaminants.
While developers assert that horizontal directional drilling and real-time turbidity monitoring will keep ecological disruption temporary, village leadership has formally petitioned state regulators to dismiss or halt the plan until strict underwater safeguards are guaranteed. Among the unresolved sticking points is the utility consortium's refusal to install suspended sediment curtains during harbor excavation. The Public Service Commission faces a formal decision later this fall on whether to mandate comprehensive environmental impact reviews.
