Geothermal System Added to Cheshire County House of Corrections Project Scope

The new Cheshire County House of Corrections project is progressing on schedule, despite a rain-soaked summer. The county delegation has recently voted to add a geothermal heat pump to the scope of the project. Geothermal is gaining in popularity due to rising oil costs and the public's interest in reducing their use of nonrenewable resources. The additional scope requires more money up front, but saves the county significant money in the long run. For more information on the project, visit the project website.
