Emilia Teasdale reports in The Columbia Paper that the Kinderhook Town Board heard from more residents at an Aug. 23 workshop meeting who don't want electricity generated by the sun on a large scale in their town. An Aug. 7 public hearing filled the meeting room in the Martin H. Glynn Building, and was closed afterwards. But board members heard from a few more residents Aug. 23 about the issue, and they also did not want solar farms in Kinderhook. Councilperson Patsy Leader noted that the Planning Board has discretion to waive requirements in an application, including those the town was including in its solar law. Supervisor Pat Grattan, agreed, saying, “We trust the Planning Board.” The next Kinderhook town meeting is at 7 p.m., Monday, September 11. Read the full story in The Columbia Paper.
