Planning Board reviews 20-acre solar project proposed on wooded Fearing Hill Road lot
Wicked Local
WAREHAM – The Planning Board Monday opened a site plan review hearing on a proposed solar project on a wooded 44-acre lot at 91 and 101 Fearing Hill Road, with the solar arrays being contained on a 20-acre, fenced-in section of the lot, that will produce 4.4 megawatts of electricity and entail extensive clearing to make way for the project.
The applicant is Wareham MA 3 LLC. The proponents say it will not entail earth removal from the site, and that a natural screen will keep the solar arrays from being visible from area homes.
