Dam versus farmlands dominates New York power debate
In Schoharie County an agricultural district will protect 4716 acres of Schoharie Creek bottomland from suburban and land speculator encroachment. The Power Authority may seek to dam the creek to serve the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, risking loss of prime farmland. Local farmers oppose further dams while officials cite power needs and district protections.
