Robin – Just to test the waters, doesn’t the Town own 50 or more acres along RT8 that is not near any houses or neighborhoods that might be a good location to build a solar or wind farm? Not sure it faces south making it a good solar platform, or that there is enough wind blowing through the valley in that area, but there is no harm to investigating the idea.

The town will “promote clean, renewable energy use” only until someone wants to erect a wind turbine or oversize solar array, Then you will hear the usual “not in my back yard” rhetoric.

The level of progress and improvements in Beacon Falls over the last year under the Smith Administration has been amazing. Congratulations to the community who is saving tax dollars on multiple fronts and to 1st Selectman Smith for leading by example.
