Board hears timeline, contractor changes for Hemlock Ridge Solar

Town of Berry Board · September 10, 2026

Summary

The board was told Hemlock Ridge Solar work will start mid-October; MasTec is stepping back from the Ironwood contract and Wesson Group is expected to take over the work pending environmental-monitor design approval and a Sept. 21 preconstruction meeting.

Chair reported the Hemlock Ridge Solar project is slated to begin mid-October and that town highway superintendents will review a road‑use agreement before work begins. “We're going to be starting on that project mid October,” the chair said, and the board agreed superintendents will review the road‑use agreement to confirm conditions are met.

A project representative said the substation foundation work requires design approval from the environmental monitor and that a preconstruction meeting is scheduled for Sept. 21. The representative said MasTec will step back from the Ironwood role because of unfamiliarity with New York State rules and the Wesson Group is expected to take the lead; grubbing is nearly finished and other construction plans were described as moving forward.
