CARVER – With no tree clearing proposed, the developer of a new 7.3-megawatt solar project on 33 acres in Carver and 77 acres in Wareham seeks approval from the planning boards of both towns.
The Carver Planning Board had few questions at the Feb. 23 public hearing for Be Re, LLC, requesting a special permit and site plan approval for 370 Tremont St. in Carver.
The owner, Brett Meredith, proposes to continue operating his cranberry bogs as part of this dual use ground-mounted solar project with battery storage, two in Carver and two in Wareham.
Sarah Stearns, an associate with the consulting firm Beals and Thomas, presented the project to the Planning Board. Two access points in Wareham lead to the base of operations. She said the bogs are set back quite a ways from the main road.
