    Unfortunately, the City Limits story is inaccurate. It says that Ritchie Torres struck a deal so that the power plant is located outside of the Bronx. That is not true. Torres struck a deal to keep the power plant away from the Children’s museum, but the power plant never said it would take it outside the Bronx. Torres said that he got the power company to agree not to place the high voltage gear in a residential neighborhood, but they are not allowed to do that by law anyway.

      Hi Steven — Clean Path New York representatives told City Limits directly that the converter will not be in the Bronx.
