Solar grant pulled, rail-trail interest grows and Memorial Day plans noted
Summary
Town economic development officials pulled a final solar grant application for the landfill (likely to be resubmitted in the fall), reported NYS Community Solar interest in the site, discussed rail-trail interest including depot reuse, and reviewed Memorial Day parade/flag placements and community events.
Larry Haber reported the town pulled the final grant application for a landfill solar project for the time being and plans to consider reapplying in the fall; NYS Community Solar has expressed interest in the landfill site. Haber also said the NY Power Authority discussion produced a potential fee comparison (12.5% vs. 27%) and that local contacts might have further leads.
On rail-trail planning, a meeting showed community interest in the railroad depot building and trail routing, though the head of the Battenkill Railroad opposed the trail. Clerk and volunteers reported preparations for Memorial Day including flag installations, and the minutes list two May events: a Student Service Day (05/22/2025) and a plant sale (05/31/2025), plus multiple summer performances and receptions at the Georgi.
No final commitments for solar funding were recorded and no formal trail decision was made; the minutes note continued outreach and interest.
