Residents Question SMART’s Trash-to-Power Project

The Norwich Bulletin reported on questions raised by Plainfield residents after SMART’s April 2026 public information process.

What the coverage documented

The report recorded residents questioning the proposed location, additional heavy-truck traffic, road deterioration and whether local fire departments have sufficient capacity for a facility of the proposed scale. It preserved statements from Patricia Williams, Eric Colello and Britney Barrett made in the public discussion.

Why it matters

This coverage is a record of what residents asked and said; it is not an engineering traffic study, road assessment or emergency-response finding. Those project-specific studies remain records to obtain from the applicant and reviewing agencies.
