CONCORD — An amended Burgess BioPower bill passed a key House committee on a 20-2 vote Tuesday, fueling optimism that the Legislature will ultimately approve a bill that will allow the biomass plant to continue operations.
“We were pleased with the strong committee vote in favor of SB 271 yesterday and hope for a similar demonstration of support in the full House,” said Sarah Boone, vice president for public affairs for Burgess BioPower on Wednesday.
