A Massachusetts company says it is no longer interested in building a garbage-to-energy power plant in Waterbury.
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 aren't even willing to listen to what it's going to do.
Chestnut Hill planned to build a plant that would take in 625 tons of food waste a day and convert it into methane gas and burn the methane to generate electricity. The 12-megawatt power plant would have employed 40 to 50 people.
The mayor is among those opposing the plant.
Chestnut Hill still plans to build the plant somewhere in the state. (AP)
