Engineer offers help with ORES refunds, host and road agreements for local solar projects
Summary
Timothy Steed of Hunt Engineers/Architects/Surveyors told the board he can assist Addison, Erwin and Campbell with refunds from ORES and with host and road agreements related to proposed solar projects; WEB has submitted a permit application and will work with the town.
Timothy Steed, representing Hunt Engineers/Architects/Surveyors, addressed the Town Board on May 7 about proposed solar projects in Addison, Erwin and Campbell and offered the firm’s assistance. He said the firm could help the town request refunds from ORES and prepare host and road-use agreements to manage impacts from installations and their associated construction traffic.
Town staff later noted that WEB has submitted a permit application and will begin working with the town on road-use and host agreements. The board did not take final action on contracts or agreements at the meeting; Steed’s remarks were an offer of professional assistance and information-sharing.
Why it matters: solar projects typically require host and road agreements to address site access, road wear, and other municipal impacts. Assistance on ORES refunds and contract drafting could affect the town’s administrative workload and potential costs.
