On February 28, 2017, New York State established a Task Force to provide guidance and support to the communities, taxing jurisdictions, and employees affected by the planned closure of Indian Point. The Department of Public Service (Department) was called upon to lead the Task Force, which is charged with developing recommendations to mitigate local tax and workforce impacts, evaluating and identifying new economic opportunities and work force retraining programs and opportunities, advocating for appropriate decommissioning timelines in the best interests of local communities, and ultimately positioning the region for a prosperous and sustainable future.

On December 31, 2020, the Department was further directed to establish the Oversight Board. The Oversight Board is charged with assessing how to protect the financial, environmental, and physical interests of the communities affected by decommissioning, including the interests of the current workforce as it relates to continuing the public safety of the surrounding communities.
