TSC representatives speak at Shoreham Civic Meeting
21 January 2009
Representatives from the Tesla Science Center (formerly known as
Friends of Science East) met with the
Shoreham Civic Organization
at their monthly meeting to give an update on the status of the
proposed Tesla Museum at Wardenclyffe. TSC President Jane Alcorn,
assisted by Vice-president Gene Genova and Secretary Chris Wesselborg,
explained the future goals of TSC in establishing the Tesla Museum
in Shoreham, New York. Legislator Daniel Losquadro was in attendance
expressing his support for the project, and outlined the role that
the Suffolk County Legislature could play in acquiring the site.
TSC's presentation included a description of the Shoreham site using
large photographs and diagrams showing the actual buildings and
Tesla's laboratory. Members of the civic association found the
discussions very informative and asked numerous questions. Jane
Alcorn explained that the cleanup of the contaminated site has been
completed, and outlined the current understanding of how the Agfa
Corporation might consider a disposition of the property. On behalf
of the Shoreham Civic Organization, president Kevin Ward expressed
their support for the establishment of the Tesla Museum. After the
regular meeting, additional discussions continued with individual
community residents as to how they could support this endeavor.
