YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y. - Opponents of a proposed solar law got in front
of the issue last week, making their objections clear to the Town Board
before it even had a chance to review a final draft of it.....HIGHLIGHTS ONLY....
Moskowitz, a member of the town’s Advisory Committee on Open Space: My conclusion after reading the solar law is that it only does one
thing: It’s in the aid of the interest of a corporation in Colorado that
wishes to scrub clean 29 acres of forest because that’s a convenient
way to install their panels.” But to do so, he said, “These 29 acres are on residential-zoned property,” declaring, “This is an outrage.”
AND... At this point, Town Supervisor Ilan Gilbert noted that a prospective
solar farm developer, which he did not identify, had sent a message that
it wants to be “excellent corporate neighbors,” estimating that
payments through a PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) agreement could
result in more than $1 million in revenue for the town over the course
of a lease. When Roker noted some may accuse the developer of doing so to “buy” votes, Gilbert said he wanted to be transparent. READ MORE AT https://www.tapinto.net/towns/yorktown/articles/yorktown-s-solar-tree-laws-advance-to-public-hearing-stage
