B.L. ENGLAND CONVERSION PLANS SUBMITTED TO UPPER TWP.

The conversion plans for the B.L. England power plant at Beesleys Point were presented to the local planning board Thursday night. Members of the Upper Township Planning Board unanimously approved the $400 million project that will convert the facility from coal and oil to natural gas. Officials from the power plant’s new owners, R.C. Cape May Holdings, said the conversion will mean cleaner air, tax revenue, jobs and peace and quiet to near-by communities.
