Proposed 250-acre solar project splits residents of town

PUBLISHED 9:15 PM ET Apr. 16, 2021 PUBLISHED 9:15 PM EDT Apr. 16, 2021 SHARE Bill Newcomb lives on an acre of land in Columbia County that’s been in his family since his childhood in the 1940s. “I always say, when I was a kid, I used to run around here, but now I limp,” Newcomb joked. “I lived in other areas. I was in the service, but it’s nice to come back. This is home, this is where I grew up.” The property in the Town of Copake is across the street from a plot of farmland that’s sat mostly unused in recent years.
