GLOVERSVILLE – Solar developers Eden Renewables is preparing to triple the size of its proposed solar farm at the site of the former Pine Brook Golf Club in order to bypass city regulations if it can’t obtain a zoning change.

Eden Renewables has proposed building a $10 million, 32-acre 7.5-megawatt solar farm capable of powering about 1,225 homes, but city officials have determined solar farms are not allowed in the “R1” residential zone where the former golf course is located.
