NEW HYDROGEN FACILITY OPENS IN GREENBURGH IN NON RESIDENTIAL AREA

Earlier this week there were news reports of the opening of a hydrogren station in White Plains. Greenburgh is also in the forefront of hydrogen technology. A new tenant of the premises across from the former Ciba facility on 9A (not in a residential area) is the General Motors Training Center that relocated from Route 9 in Tarrytown. The facility provides training on the engines to mechanics and technicians on GM vehicles powered on both gasoline and hydrogen. There is a small tank on the property for hydrogen storage that is protected by concrete bollards. Unlike the proposal on Cental Ave where hydrogen was to be produced onsite, the hydrogen at this facility will be brought in by truck. The Greenburgh Fire Inspector Larry Desimone had meetings with the Hastings Fire Chief. Together they visited the site.

Does the Hasting Fire Chief and his men have both the training and equipment necessary to SAFELY deal with any emergencies which may arise from the presence of the facility - or are the taxpayers of Hastings going to be asked to pony up the bucks required.
Green is wonderful - but to have green you need lots of green - and that doesn't grow on trees....
