GCEDC s public hearing on the Town of Byron solar project: An incentive for parties to voice their opinions
What was advertised as a public hearing on incentives being offered by the Genesee County Economic Development Center to the developer of the Excelsior Solar Project in the Town of Byron turned out to be an opportunity for parties on both sides of the issue to re-emphasize their positions.
During the 25-minute videoconference, Mark Masse, GCEDC’s senior vice president of operations, read written statements from representatives of three farms who are leasing land for the 280-megawatt, 1,600-acre system Star Growers Land, LLC; L-Brooke Farms and Colby Homestead Farms.
