Activists from several conservation groups and the President of the Herring Pond Wampanoag Tribe spoke out against a proposed solar project, saying it would cause irreversible damage to the environment.
At the Feb. 3 Conservation Commission meeting, no representatives of the proposed Borrego solar field were present. The project, set to be located at 140 Tihonet Road, is one of three large arrays planned for land owned by A.D. Makepeace. The three projects total roughly 180 acres in size.
The project has not yet received final approval from the Planning Board, and will be headed for a hearing in front of the Massachusetts Environmental Protection Agency.
