SPSA's BOARD POSTPONES THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 28 COVANTA WORK SESSION
(Chesapeake, VA, September 27, 2006) –The Board of Directors today postponed the Covanta work session scheduled for Thursday, September 28.
SPSA Board Chairman Leroy Bennett indicated that the work session likely will be held on Wednesday, October 25 - the date of the next SPSA Board meeting - if it is not held sooner.
Mr. Bennett stated, "SPSA Staff already had provided to the Board present much of the information requested regarding the Covanta proposal. However additional information which the Board needs also to review, which just became available, in the last few days are: 1) the Portsmouth-sponsored Stokes environmental report; and 2) the City of Portsmouth's draft Memorandum of Intent. Once the Board reviews and fully understands these documents, the work session can be held."
Copies of all documents provided to the Board are on the SPSA website at www.spsa.com. If you have any questions, please contact Felicia Blow at (757) 420-4700.
