GOSHEN—Town to Goshen engineer Dennis Lindsay explained revisions to the Goshen Town Board on Aug. 25 of a proposed local law to regulate renewable energy systems in Goshen.
Lindsay said the committee that drafted the law made note of comments from residents, the Town Planning Board, the Orange County Department of Planning, and some solar companies, when writing the proposed draft.
“We looked at every comment everybody made,” said Town Supervisor Doug Bloomfield who participated in the project. “We looked at every sentence and paragraph of literature that came to us from the solar industry before we came up with this final version.”
The law amended section 97-55 of the town code formerly titled “Reserved” and replaced it with the wind and solar regulations.
