Town‑hall set for Jan. 15 on proposed Cedar Lane battery storage project
Summary
The board scheduled a Jan. 15 public meeting for New Leaf Energy to present a proposed battery energy storage facility near Saddleley Grove; residents raised safety and zoning concerns and were urged to attend the town‑hall.
The village set a special public meeting for Jan. 15, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. at the Tyler Falls Senior Center so New Leaf Energy can present its Cedar Lane battery storage proposal. Trustees and residents said the meeting is intended to let directly affected neighbors ask questions and provide input before any formal planning or zoning proceedings.
Residents and trustees raised safety concerns during public comment, citing a recent facility incident in Warwick and noting the proposed site lies in a residential zone that likely requires variances and multiple planning board reviews. "They're not naive to the fact that if 30 residents show up to a planning or zoning board meeting, they know what's gonna happen," a resident said while urging broad attendance. The board said staffing or trustee attendance at the Jan. 15 session would be limited and emphasized that no formal board action is scheduled at that meeting; it is a public informational session.
