Tom Cooperrider, a Hartford Township trustee, said area farmers have been approached about leasing their land.
“I signed up more than a year ago, Cooperrider said. They’re just looking for good ground to lease for a solar panel project. Farmers here signed up for that. I think it’d be a pretty good chunk of money for the school system.”
State Sen. Jay Hottinger, R-Newark, said he met recently with Kevin DeWine, a lobbyist who represents Open Road Renewables. Hottinger said the proposal was for a 350-megawatt solar field.
State law assesses $7,000 per megawatt for solar and wind fields. Based on 350 megawatts, the company would pay $2.45 million annually, in lieu of taxes, to local property tax recipients. The amount could be increased to up to $9,000 per megawatt, which would boost the annual payments to $3.15 million.
CUMBERLAND – Town leaders want to do everything possible to avoid a repeat of the endless fireworks that wreaked havoc on local neighborhoods last summer.
Applications for hawker and holiday licenses in Cumberland are typically fairly routine matters, but some council members took the opportunity during a hearing for Joshua Nielson’s Phantom Fireworks last Wednesday, March 3, to bring up the wider issue of quality of life impacted by the barrage of summertime explosions.
Councilor Lisa Beaulieu said she understands that ground-based fireworks are legal, and that people were especially ready to set off fireworks of all kinds during a pandemic year when they were stuck at home, but she wants to see discussions about how Cumberland can improve the situation for residents this year.

CUMBERLAND – Back in 2017, against the objections of neighbors, the Town Council approved a restaurant use for the former Dancing Pig restaurant property at 48 West Wrentham Road.
Peter Bradley, council president at the time, broke a 3-3 tie based on the fact that liquor would not be served at the new restaurant, later revealed to be Chucky’s Creamery.
Mike Bouthillette, business partners with Chuck Moreau at Chucky s, said back in 2017 that the plan was to reopen the vacant space as a family restaurant with no liquor served, open only for breakfasts and ice cream. He said the applicant would not be back at a later date seeking a liquor use.
