Where will the Caithness Long Island Energy Center be built?
Location: The Caithness Long Island Energy Center is being built on a fifteen acre site within a 96-acre parcel of land, centrally located in a large industrial area in the Town of Brookhaven. The site is located within the Brookhaven Empire Zone, an area specially designated by New York State and the Town of Brookhaven for industrial development. Bordering land: The Long Island Rail Road runs along the northern perimeter of the site. Light industrial facilities border the property on the west. Undeveloped, sub-divided industrial parcels make up the border on the south. On the eastern side of the property, a 300 foot-wide Long Island Power Authority “LIPA” transmission line right-of-way borders the site along with several undeveloped industrial parcels.
