KNOX Still sitting on most of the $130,000 it was awarded by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, Knox is making steady progress toward a small solar array that Supervisor Vasilios Lefkaditis estimates will offset “all or a good portion” of the town’s $9,000 annual electricity cost.
The town wants to build the municipal array on a roughly 15-acre property on Street Road, the site of the town’s former landfill. Lefkaditis indicated at the town board’s March 9 meeting that the 70-by-130-foot array would be little more than a speck on the acreage.

This sightline review commissioned by RIC Energy and conducted by the engineering firm Wendel WD shows the location of the solar project along Thompsons Lake Road, in Knox, and the visibility of the project from 41 Old Stage Road.
KNOX A 4.4 megawatt solar farm is likely coming to Thompsons Lake Road in Knox, and some nearby residents are worried about the value of their property once it’s here, as well as the impact the project might have on a resident with cerebral palsy.
The project, overseen by RIC Energy, was conditionally approved by the Knox planning board at its Jan. 14 meeting by a vote of 5 to 2. A final vote will be held on Thursday, Jan. 21.
