BWL General Manager Dick Peffley Issues Statement on Deep Green Project

The Lansing Board of Water & Light (BWL) General Manager Dick Peffley issues the following statement:

“The Lansing Board of Water & Light (BWL) understands that Deep Green has made the decision to withdraw their proposals for both the purchase and the rezoning of the E. Kalamazoo St. and S. Cedar St. property and defer project specific questions to them. We believe in the benefits this project would bring to the City of Lansing and our customers, including the benefit to our future hot water customers and related emissions reductions, as well as the annual $120,000 donation to Pennies for Power to help customers who are struggling.

“We strongly value supporting the economic development of the region and working with new and growing businesses in our service territory. The BWL continues to stay focused on providing safe, reliable and affordable utility services while supporting the community we serve.”
