2of5A view through the woods just off of Hubbs Road, in an area where a solar farm is being proposed, seen here on Monday, Oct. 19, 2020, in Ballston Lake, N.Y. Neighbors in the area say that an access road that would be created off of Hubbs Road would cause a lot of construction traffic and create unsafe conditions. Neighbors also say that once the leaves fall off the trees that the panels of the solar farm would be easily seen from their property, ruining their view and lowering their home values.
