  1. Unfortunately, some of the information about Cohoes history in the video is incorrect.
    Also, the organization "Friends of Cohoes Falls" is sponsored by Brookfield, the large power company that runs the power plant at Cohoes Falls. This organization is not to be confused with the independent citizens group "Friends of the Falls" which supports a more fair and open process for hydropower plant licensing.
