After asking several questions about noise, trees and property taxes, the Sandwich Planning Board on Wednesday, May 5, said âyesâ to a solar farm proposed for a parcel at the end of Jan Sebastian Drive.
The 46-acre property, owned by the Housing Assistance Corporation, was the home of a community garden for several years. The unanimous vote by the planning board on Wednesday night will allow the acreage to metamorphose into 2.1-megawatt ground-mounted solar farm.
The vote came after an hour-long public hearing. Much of that time was used by Lodestar Energyâs Dan Watson, business developer, to describe the project.
