BioEnergy firm pulls plug on plant
Chestnut Hill BioEnergy has terminated its contract to buy a former Waterbury factory to convert it into the power plant.
The company said it is not interested in engaging in a fight for 18 months with people who arent even willing to listen to what it's going to do.

Chestnut Hill still plans to build the plant somewhere in the state.
