Left In Lowell

This Saturday, Governor Patrick will be in Chelmsford for an event open to the public, at the Java Room, 14 Littleton Rd. from around noon to 1pm.

Come on in, ask your questions, come listen to and meet the Governor.

Pretty cool event, the Lowell Film Collaborative is screening “The Invention of Lying” on Thursday, Feb. 18 at 7PM at The Old Court (upstairs), $5 at the door. This Lowell-shot movie, as you probably know, has a metric ton of familiar faces, Lowellians mugging for the camera as extras. Plus familiar places!

I am ashamed to admit I didn’t see this in the theaters, yeah I know, so I’m gonna try to make this one.

Investors have pulled out of the Billerica power plant development.

This development is significant, said Fitzpatrick, because it could remove the Billerica Energy Center from ISO New England’s waiting list to provide electricity to the region. ISO New England is the organization that operates the regional power grid.

“We’ve communicated (to ISO-New England) we are no longer actively developing the project,” said Fitzpatrick.

Mentioned also is that the plan could always be revived in a few years but losing its place on the ISO list is a pretty final thing for the current plan.
