Wareham Planning Board wants legal opinion before vote on latest solar-array project
Wicked Local
WAREHAM – The Planning Board wants a legal opinion before voting on its site plan review of Borrego Solar Systems’ approximately 70-acre solar-array project at 140 Tihonet Road on land owned by A.D. Makepeace.
The town has a right of purchase refusal on agricultural land that received state tax breaks that is being converted to a non-agricultural use under the state’s Chapter 61A program.
The Planning Board had approved two site plan reviews for solar-array projects proposed by Borrego on Makepeace land late last year, including an approximately 60-acre parcel off 150 Tihonet Road in late last December and a 44-acre solar project off 27 Charge Pond Road last October.
