Public meeting on E-K solar farm
Recorder and Times / Deanna Clark / 16 March 2010
The notice of proposal to engage in a renewable energy project by Effisolar Energy Corporation noted it is hosting a public meeting at Spring Valley Hall on Tuesday, March 23. The information session is from 12 noon to 3 p.m.
Elizabethtown-Kitley council discussed the issue at its last regular meeting.
Prettejohn, who also lives on Old Red Road, said her neighbours have voiced concerns about the time slot of the meeting being "restrictive" to those who work during the day.
In response, council decided it would send a request for an evening meeting the same day.
"They're not changing the meeting time," Township administrator-clerk Yvonne Robert confirmed.
"They say the meeting is only the kickoff meeting and they will have at least one more public meeting," Robert said.
Under the Green Energy Act, renewable energy developers are exempt from municipal zoning bylaws and official plans, Robert noted.
