Representatives from Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office and environmental groups answered questions Wednesday night about the closure of Indian Point.

A group of about 50 concerned citizens gathered at the Greenburgh Nature Center for a discussion on power plant's closure.

Gov. Cuomo announced the shutdown in January. Some local municipalities fear the loss of revenue could drown their economy. Others worry about jobs and from where they will get their energy.

"Of course we're concerned about these communities," says Riverkeeper Executive Director Paul Gallay. "You know what the worst part is? If these communities would be here closest to Indian Point, if we had an accident that led to a release of radiation, that's what would hurt these communities the most."

Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino has been calling for an environmental review and advocates for the facility to remain open.

"The issue here is, does the state follow the law? Does the governor follow the law or not? And if they don't…then why do we even have these environmental laws?" he asked.

The agreement announced by Gov. Cuomo in January would see the site completely offline by 2021. Astorino says Cuomo ignored state law by not giving the public the chance to give their input on the closing of the plant.
