Alexandria closing Coal Plant: History in the Making

I will go down there and take some photos of the site this week. This is a very serious and important impact on the City of Alexandria.

Long known by the name of its former owner, Mirant — which through a merger became GenOn — the plant sits on 25 prime acres. The parcel cuts Old Town Alexandria off from the water and is adjacent to a popular walking and bicycling trail on National Park Service land.
