[External_Sender] March 23 Decomissioning Forum Attachments: 2016March23_DecommissioningForum_bios.pdf

Dear Friends,

On Wednesday, March 23rd, the Pilgrim Coalition will be hosting a Decommissioning Forum at the Plymouth Public Library from 7-9:30pm. We would like to invite you to attend the presentation and ask questions. The forum is open to regional and local representatives, along with concerned neighbors from across towns , as this is not just an issue limited to Plymouth. The forum will provide objective, expert panelists from a cross the region who have previously dealt with decommissioning issues, know the risks involved, and know how to plan with the public in mind.

Here are some questions that will be covered during the panelists presentations: Who Pays? Will Entergy be responsible to continue funding local towns? Will the site be cleaned up? If so, when?

Attached is the flyer for the event with the bios of the panelists. We hope you, your friends and colleagues will join us.

Thank you, Anna Baker Cha ir, Pilgrim Coalition On Behalf of the Pilgrim Coalition Steering Committee 1
