Le Roy authorizes $15,000 for STP engineering as solar and digester plans stall
Summary
After a Solar Liberty site review flagged a $300,000 conductor pad and changed project economics, trustees authorized $15,000 to Clark Patterson to update engineering estimates for the Sewer Treatment Plant; digester engineering and sludge costs were also discussed.
A Solar Liberty site review for solar panels at the village Sewer Treatment Plant identified a needed conductor pad that could cost roughly $300,000, changing the financial case for rooftop or ground-mounted panels. Mayor Gregory Rogers said National Grid’s findings altered project dynamics and that updated engineering would be required to reapply; "NG called today (May 13) to say it would be $15,000 in engineering costs to update the numbers and reapply (four years ago was the original quote)." The board also discussed a $15,000 digester engineering cost that could eliminate the need to truck sludge.
Trustee William Kettle moved to authorize $15,000 to Clark Patterson for STP engineering updates. The motion was seconded by Trustee Dan Vanderhoof and passed with recorded aye votes from Trustee Kettle, Trustee Bonacquisti, Trustee Vanderhoof and Mayor Rogers. Trustees reviewed recent sludge-hauling costs; the most recent invoice was $5,331.20 (May 8, 2026).
