Beekmantown board to meet with Riley Brook Solar Farm over proposed one-time fee
Summary
The board agreed to meet with the company behind the conditionally approved Riley Brook Solar Farm to discuss a one-time fee; Town staff reviewed neighboring-town fee structures and will consult the Town Assessor.
The Beekmantown Town Board discussed fees for the Riley Brook Solar Farm, which the Zoning Board conditionally approved on June 24, 2026, and agreed to schedule a meeting with the project company to negotiate a one-time fee.
At the July 6 work session Sam reported he had looked at neighboring towns’ fees and spoken with the Town Assessor about details. The board characterized the solar-farm fee as a one-time assessment and proposed scheduling a work session to finalize a recommendation based on staff review and the town assessor’s guidance.
No fee amount was proposed or voted on at the July 6 meeting; the board expects to meet the applicant and return with a recommendation at a subsequent session.
