Officials say proposed solar array could take years; moratorium to guide comprehensive plan
Summary
Town officials met informally with the Office of Renewable Energy about a proposed solar array; the board said the process "will take time," possibly a year before the Town is approached and up to two years to complete, and that the current moratorium will inform a comprehensive plan.
Supervisor Vernon Richardson, Councilor Doug Blumer and Codes Officer Howard Tanner met with representatives from the Office of Renewable Energy for an informational discussion about a proposed solar array. The meeting was described as informational; board members said the process will take time and estimated it may be about a year before the Town is approached and up to two years before the full process completes.
Officials also noted the Town currently has a moratorium intended to allow development of a comprehensive plan to guide any future solar siting or approvals. The Board discussed that the moratorium and planning work will shape how and when the Town considers specific projects from developers or state representatives.
