Plattsburgh cryptocurrency regulations unveiled
Plattsburgh State students get OK for city trick-or-treat Plattsburgh Common Council approves educational Halloween event
Zoning law for Bitcoin mining operations proposed By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER
PLATTSBURGH | Over seven months into an 18-month moratorium on new commercial cryptocurrency mining operations in the City of Plattsburgh, the long-promised zoning regulations designed to address health and safety concerns stemming from those operations were unveiled last week. The proposed regulations, which will apply to operations that use more than 300 kilowatts of electricity in a month or have three or more mining rigs in a single location, mandate: • That miners install an “active clean agent fire protection system” with high-sensitivity smoke detectors and an emergency electricity termination switch; • That temperatures inside their facility not reach above 120 degrees Fahrenheit and that no employee inspect or work in the building if the temperature exceeds 90 degrees; • That miners must apply for a special use permit to open or expand a commercial cryptocurrency mining operation;

Three towns, Champlain, Peru and Plattsburgh, will fill vacancies on their town boards. All but one of those races are contested. Following the retirement of Jim Woods earlier this year from his post as Town of Plattsburgh Highway Superintendent, his former deputy, Timmy Dubrey, is running unopposed for the seat. Both Peru and Mooers will fill their town clerk slots. Neither race is contested: Peru Town Clerk/Tax Collector Dianne Miller (Democratic/Republican lines) and Mooers Town Clerk/Tax Collector Kelly McDonald (Democratic line) are running unopposed.
