Floor Speech
Issues: Infrastructure Energy
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mr. GRIFFITH. Mr. Speaker, like the previous bills, this is a dam project in which the license was issued, but for various reasons, the timeline has expired or is about to expire, and this would give it up to an additional 6 years in which to get the project completed.
This, like the other one I mentioned, is also a run-of-river hydroelectric project, which means it won't change the flow of the river. None of the sports and recreational activities will be affected negatively in any way.
This is located in Dickenson County. It is the Flannagan project. I ask the House to approve this extension.
