NORTHFIELD The Planning Board met Thursday to continue its public hearing and discuss recent changes to the site plan for one of three proposed dual-use solar arrays planned for Four Star Farms’ property on Pine Meadow Road. The board also set a date, April 28, to deliberate on granting the special permit.
Jackie Firsty of the Boston-based BlueWave Solar said the project developers met with Eversource to review two options for changing an interconnection pole and the access driveway for “Array A,” the largest of the three arrays at roughly 26 acres that would be located across from the Four Star Farms main building.

‘Struck a nerve’

I do not know any of the parties involved in the debate involving Four Star Farms’ plans for a solar project (Four Star Farms replies to petition, February 1, 2021). Nor am I familiar with the Town of Northfield’s zoning bylaws. I also tend to think that people from other towns should not involve themselves in the business of other communities. However, as someone who struggles daily to keep our own small, 65-acre Ashfield farm open and at least marginally viable, the name of the petition “Save our farm land from permanent damage,” struck a nerve.
Moody Center

Regarding the Moody Center’s plans for expansion. Here we go again. Four years ago I attended a meeting at the Senior Center in Northfield, where representatives from The Moody Center and Thomas Aquinas College gave a talk on “how happy they were to be in Northfield” and their future plans.
It came as no surprise that The Moody Center had plans to make Northfield a destination place. I have no problem with that; in fact they are good neighbors and need our help. All I ask is please give them a chance.
Six years ago, the Snow Family purchased the Northfield Golf Course. The course is now beautiful and very attractive to area golfers. It has also helped Northfield’s tax rate, etc. The Four Star Farm seems to get the OK on many of their new projects with little or no complaints.
