CANTON – The Canton town board will host a public hearing on its draft solar law at 6 p.m. on Aug. 14, before its regular meeting.
The law will provide a policy regarding construction of future commercial-scale solar energy farms within town limits.
A moratorium on construction of such large scale commercial solar projects has been in place since July 2018 to allow the town to draft a policy regarding solar farm development.
The new law will deal specifically with commercial-scale developments and does not apply to solar panels and solar energy equipment located at a private residence, on a roof or a legally permitted building or structure “for the purpose of producing electricity primarily for on-site consumption.”
