Breeze incorrectly identifies site
SMITHFIELD – The best viable option for solar energy in Smithfield is at the former town landfill site on Ridge Road, says Councilor David Tikoian.
Following a Town Council work session last week discussing possible solar projects on municipal properties, Tikoian said he is in full support of developing two town properties for solar.
The Valley Breeze & Observer last week incorrectly identified the privately operated Davis landfill as one of the two sites targeted for town solar and stated that Tikoian spoke in favor of the project, but he was speaking of the Ridge Road site. The municipal landfill off Ridge Road is the “best viable option” for the town to bring in developers for a solar array in Smithfield, said Tikoian this week. Closed in 1974, the old town landfill was “never really properly covered up.”
