CONWAY — The planned wood chip-fueled heating and cooling power plant at the proposed Ridgeline Communities off Eagles Way in Redstone on May 31 received a $1 million federal grant, thanks to the collaborative efforts of New Hampshire’s congressional delegation.
In a press statement, U.S. Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan and U.S. Reps. Annie Kuster and Chris Pappas said the award will help Continuum modernize and streamline its proposed wood energy production, including through state-of-the-art engineering features to maximize efficiency and meet emission control standards.
