The NYES Project Location The NYES Project will be located in an existing overhead electric transmission corridor and/or on adjacent land already owned by transmission operators in the Town of Schodack in Rensselaer County; the Towns of Stuyvesant, Stockport, Ghent, Claverack, Livingston, Gallatin, and Clermont in Columbia County; and the Towns of Milan, Clinton, and Pleasant Valley in Dutchess County. IV. Description of the NYES Project Exhibit 2 to the Application fully describes the NYES Project. In brief, the Project includes (1) the installation of a new, 54.5-mile 345 kV electric transmission line—to be known as the Transco #96 line—that will be co-located with existing 115 kV electric transmission lines (referred to collectively throughout the Application as the “new, 54.5-mile 345/115 kV double- circuit transmission line”) on new monopoles between the new 345 kV Knickerbocker Switching Station owned by Transco and located in the Town of Schodack, Rensselaer County, the rebuilt 115 kV Churchtown Switching Station owned by Transco and located in the Town of Claverack, Columbia County, and the existing 345 kV and 115 kV Pleasant Valley Substations owned by Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. and Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation (“Central Hudson”), respectively, and located in the Town of Pleasant Valley, Dutchess County (together, the “345/115 kV Pleasant Valley Substation,” and individually, the “345 kV Pleasant Valley Substation” or “115 kV Pleasant Valley Substation”); (2) the replacement of 2.2-miles of 115 kV electric transmission line in an existing Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid right-of-way (“ROW”) that extends from the existing 115 kV Blue Stores Substation to a tap with the existing National Grid #8 115 kV Lafarge to Pleasant Valley line (referred to as the “Blue Stores Tap”); and (3) the installation of a 0.8-mile double- 3 circuit 345 kV electric transmission line that will run from the existing 345 kV Pleasant Valley Substation to and from the new 345 kV Van Wagner Capacitor Bank Station. The NYES Project will retire, replace, or upgrade existing, aging electric transmission infrastructure. For example, the NYES Project will reduce the overall quantity of transmission infrastructure in the Project’s ROW, which is an existing transmission corridor, by replacing approximately 700 structures with approximately 470 self-supporting steel monopole structures in a modified delta configuration that eliminates the need for guys and anchors. This removal and replacement will reduce the footprint of structures in the Project’s ROW between the existing 115 kV Churchtown Switching Station and the 345/115 Pleasant Valley Substation. Further, approximately 24 older, wood H-frame structures associated with the Blue Stores Tap will be replaced with approximately 24 tubular steel H-frame structures. The new structures will, for the most part, be similar in height to the existing structures, thereby having no significant adverse impacts on the viewshed.3 Additionally, Transco is working with Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. and Central Hudson on a development schedule and implementation plan to permit, develop, and construct certain Commission-required transmission additions associated with the NYES Project (referred to in the Commission’s underlying alternating current (“AC”) transmission proceedings as the “Segment B Additions”),4 which include, for example, performing terminal work at the existing 345 kV Coopers Corners and Rock Tavern Substations to improve the thermal ratings on lines #34 and #42. 3 See Exhibit 4.4. 4 See e.g. Case 12-T-0502, Proceeding on Motion of the Commission to Examine Alternating Current Transmission Upgrades, Order Finding Transmission Needs Driven by Public Policy Requirements (issued Dec. 15, 2015) (the “AC PPTN Order”), at Appendix B ¶ 5 (“No transmission solution shall be selected for Segment B that does not incorporate certain specified add-ons that would be constructed (i.e., upgrades to the Rock Tavern Substation; upgrades to the Shoemaker to Sugarloaf transmission lines), unless the NYISO determines that such add-ons, jointly or severally, are not material

  • Trends in Health Care Employment in New York State
    RESEARCH BRIEF November 2018 Trends in Health Care Employment in New York State Highlights In New York, job growth in health care exceeds job growth in all other employment sectors. Health care is an important driver of employment growth in upstate New York. Health care employment grew by 15% in New York City between 2013 and 2017. Hospitals account for the largest proportion of employment in health care settings. Job growth is strongest in home health care and ambulatory care settings. Background Health care employment in the United States is growing rapidly, signifi cantly outpacing job growth in all other employment sectors. Health care jobs grew by about 20% nationally between 2006 and 2016, while employment in all other sectors grew by only 3% during the same time period.1 The demand for health services is expected to continue to increase, driven in part by an aging population and rising rates of chronic diseases. According to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), health sector employment is projected to grow by about 18%in the US between 2016 and 2026, accounting for nearly one-third of all new jobs.2 Nationally, hospitals are the largest employers within the health care industry and continued to add jobs in 2018. Between January and September of 2018, hospitals added 79,000 jobs compared to adding 70,000 jobs for all of 2017.3 Employment in home health care also continues to rise, adding approximately 10,000 jobs between January and September of 2018 and about 17,000 jobs in 2017. Researchers at the Center for Health Workforce Studies (CHWS) analyzed available New York State employment data to examine New York’s job market compared to these national trends.
