Gene Ellis Retires

Some of you may have heard that Gene Ellis retired from Alcoa. Yes, Gene retired in June.

However, Gene has not abandoned his quest of many years, working hard to bring together many diverse interests to agree on a Relicensing Settlement Agreement and ultimately to obtain a new 50-year license to operate the Yadkin Hydroelectric Project. Gene is back working as a consultant to Alcoa to achieve this goal.

In fact, you can read Gene’s very clear and convincing remarks about the proposed State takeover of the Yadkin Project to the NC House Water Resources Committee on Tuesday, July 7 in his Blog at http://www.yadkinproject.blogspot.com.

We wish Gene well in his retirement.
