Planning Board approves one-year extension for AES Black River Solar project
Summary
The Hounsfield Planning Board approved Resolution #7, granting AES Black River Solar a one-year extension to Sept. 3, 2026, citing supply-chain delays in construction materials; the vote was unanimous.
The Town of Hounsfield Planning Board voted Aug. 5, 2025, to approve a one-year extension for AES Black River Solar, LLC, extending the project milestone to Sept. 3, 2026. The board adopted Resolution #7 by roll-call vote: Cheryl Payne, Tim Lehman, Jason Widrick and Chair RJ Filley all voted yes.
