The Gloucester Planning Commission met last Thursday night in-person for the first time in months to hold three public hearings at the T.C. Walker Educational Center auditorium.
The first two hearings were to consider conditional use permits to establish utility-scale solar energy facilities. The last was for a text amendment change to the zoning ordinance to clarify the definition of “Boundary Line Adjustment.”
The applicant, Impact Power Solutions, LLC, submitted two CUP applications seeking to establish a utility-scale solar energy facility at the intersection of Maryus Road (Route 640) and Ditch Bank Road (Route 1104) and a large-scale solar facility on Ditch Bank Road. Gregory and Kelly Jenkins own both properties.

The future grid is full of data. That worries cyber experts Source: By Christian Vasquez, E&E News reporter • Posted: Wednesday, May 5, 2021
Security experts warn that clean energy developers and nation-backed hackers are often interested in the same types of granular grid data. Regulators, utilities and renewable energy companies are debating whether to make such information public.

MARQUETTE People can celebrate the environment through the upcoming Anderton’s Earth Week 2021.
The event is named after the late John Anderton, a former head of the Northern Michigan University Department of Earth, Environmental and Geological Sciences. He passed away in March 2014.
One of the many organizers of the multitude of events to be held in-person, outdoors and virtually is John O’Bryan, who is finishing what he called an “individually created degree” in climate advocacy at NMU. O’Bryan has been an intern with the NMU Sustainability Advisory Council, but his involvement with Earth Week is part of an independent capstone course of climate advocacy with Professor Josh Ewalt in the communications department.
