MONMOUTH A proposed 55-acre solar array could be on its way to Ridge Road, but a moratorium on the March 9 ballot could stop it in its tracks.
The solar array project is being planned out by Longroad Development Co., a Boston-based renewable energy development company that is also working on a 42-acre solar installation in Augusta.
Longroad is contracting the project with Bath Iron Works, which will be the sole recipient of the power. The website touts the benefit of the project to Monmouth is “an additional source of tax revenue with no additional burden to town services.” The project would bring in $5 million in new taxable property.
