MASSENA -- North Side Energy Center will hold a virtual open house where people can ask questions about their proposed project to put a large solar farm that would be partially located in each of the towns of Massena, Brasher and Norfolk.

The lot where the project will go is on an approximate 2,200-acre chunk of land that is in the towns of Massena, Brasher and Norfolk. He said the actual solar farm will likely take up between 1,200 and 1,400 acres of that. They've worked out deals with local landowners for use of the lot, Scornavacca said.

At the November Massena Town Council meeting, Kris Scornavacca from NextEra Energy Resources, the project's parent company, talked about the solar farm and said they are planning to hire 200 or more people to build and install the solar farm.
