Council authorizes RFP to explore solar on former landfill
Summary
The Washington Borough Council authorized the borough manager to issue a request for proposals to develop solar on a borough-owned former landfill parcel, with revenue to flow to the borough and energy exported to the grid. The motion passed 6–0 with one abstention.
Washington Borough Council voted to authorize the borough manager to put out a request for proposals (RFP) to develop solar on a borough-owned former landfill parcel.
Borough Manager Brian Bond told the council the site “cannot have any building on it” but can be used for solar; he said the additional energy produced would go into the grid and that the project could produce revenue for the borough. Councilmember Musick moved the authorization and Councilmember Infinito seconded. The motion passed 6–0 with Councilmember Gorshkov recorded as abstaining.
The council discussed site constraints tied to the property’s prior use as a landfill and possible revenue scenarios but did not provide detailed financial estimates at the meeting. No developer was selected; the RFP will be used to solicit proposals and pricing from potential vendors.
