To the Editor:
2021 is the year when Wareham citizens will make multiple key decisions on the character of their town.
These decisions will impact everyday life for the foreseeable future. First came the huge turnout for the NOTOS “No” vote, which clearly communicated that quality of life and environmental health were important.
The Town Meeting and Special Town Meeting scheduled for 11:00 a.m. June 12th at the Decas School will present citizens with another critical decision: How will the continued installation of large scale industrial solar sites in Wareham be handled, or not.
How large should these sites be? (Massachusetts SMART programs limit the size to 50 acres to qualify for tax credits.) Where should these sites be located? How will they impact quality of life, neighborhood, environment, property values? Is there one coming to your backyard?
