Gilpatrick Solar, Union Street projects on agenda
ELLSWORTH Plans to subdivide a former medical clinic located at 8 Union St. and a separate project to construct a 19.81-acre, ground-mounted solar array on Gilpatrick Road will be seeking final application approval from the Planning Board on Feb. 3. Both applications were deemed complete by the board in January.
At that meeting, the board raised no major issues with the Gilpatrick Solar Project, as presented by Chris Byers and Dale Knapp of consulting firm Boyle Associates. The project was waiting for review by the Maine Historical Preservation Council, and a Department of Environmental Protection application for a stormwater runoff permit had been accepted by the DEP as complete. Aypa Power, a subsidiary of conglomerate Blackstone Energy Partners, is behind the project.
Solar project, Union Street subdivision on Planning Board agenda for Jan. 6
ELLSWORTH A mixed-use subdivision at 8 Union St. and a solar project are set for Planning Board review. Developers of both projects have submitted applications for preliminary plan approval when the board meets Jan. 6.
The Gilpatrick Solar Project continues the influx of solar farms proposed in Hancock County as renewable and traditional energy companies make plans under new legislation passed last year. Three Ellsworth solar farm applications received final approval in the last months of 2020, as did one in Franklin, with two more granted preliminary application approval. In Hancock County, new solar farms also have been approved in Sedgwick and Hancock, with additional projects in the development stage.
