Town of Southport Board Votes to Extend Moratorium on Solar Energy and Energy Storage

“So we had felt, as we work on a comprehensive plan, it makes sense to put a moratorium on any new development in that area until the town has a good window in terms of how we want to do that,” said Roman. “…We have seen solar projects where entities, towns, [and] villages have to be diligent in terms of how they sign those agreements with those solar entities. So, for one example, just to make sure there’s a bond for cleanup as one precaution. So I think that comment comes from just making sure you sign good and solid agreements with these entities as you move forward.”
