Public Safety Complex solar variance
Summary
The town won a variance exempting the new all-electric Public Safety Complex from on-site solar requirements, arguing its 100% remote net-metering agreement already exceeds the code's ~8% requirement and adding rooftop panels would cost money for credits it can't use. Some residents want the same scrutiny applied to the new middle school.
