- Vernon community and the state grapple with potential redevelopment of Vermont Yankee site
The former Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant site in Vernon, closed in 2014 with over 100,000 tons of nuclear waste, is being considered for redevelopment by PowerTransitions. Potential projects include a data center, battery storage, or a small-scale nuclear reactor. NorthStar is decommissioning the site, while Vermont's regulatory process (Act 250) could delay approvals for years.
