Some mourn the loss of jobs. Others celebrate the demise of a coal-burning plant and related environmental concerns. All acknowledge their Alle-Kiski Valley communities surrounding the Cheswick Generating Station will be forever changed. The station, which is Allegheny County’s last coal-fired power plant, is scheduled to close permanently in mid-September. More than 50 people will lose their jobs. Gunner Gaschler, who works as a supervisor at Beer & Beyond a few blocks from the plant, said he sees workers from the site stopping in the store about five days per week. He’s concerned businesses like his will lose revenue without those workers patronizing Springdale businesses.
