The state Site Evaluation Committee will decide whether to hold a special approval process for a proposed solar farm in Milford, after receiving petitions from nearby residents.
The proposed array, from a local subsidiary of New York-based Olivewood Energy, would have a capacity of 16 megawatts – about half the size of the normal minimum for SEC consideration.
A community group called Brox Environmental Citizens – named for the piece of land where the solar farm would be built – wants the SEC to step in and decide whether to review the project anyway.
The group submitted petitions with that request, signed by residents in Milford and four surrounding towns.

Andru Volinsky: Challenges ahead for the Executive Council
Modified: 12/17/2020 6:20:14 AM
There is hope on the horizon. A COVID vaccine has been approved and New Hampshire is rolling it out to those most in need. Balanced against this good news are recent deaths and the dangerous climb in infection rates. While I would enjoy attending my last Executive Council meeting in Council Chambers, reluctantly, I’ll participate by phone and share my concluding thoughts here.
Even in our weak executive form of government, governors clearly set the state’s agenda. They garner press attention, decide who and whether to nominate for key positions, and determine which items are voted upon by the council.
