JACKSON TOWNSHIP – Competitive Power Ventures has secured $700 million in financing to build a natural gas power plant in Jackson Township.

CPV is calling this a significant milestone for the project and in just a few months, rural Jackson Township will be transformed into a busy, active construction site.

Local and state leaders, business owners and homeowners are all talking about what will be known as the Fairview Energy Center and the ripple effect it will bring.
Fairview Energy will go up just off Route 271 in Jackson Township. The location used to house a petroleum storage facility and up until recently, a salvage yard.
