Amaresco calls on New Milford officials to work with them on Candlewood Mt project

Ameresco’s director of development is asking New Milford officials to work with them on the controversial 20-megawatt Candlewood Solar project on Candlewood Mountain.  At Monday's Town Council meeting, Rob Jackson said assuming the state signs off on all plans, they will be a taxpayer in New Milford and want to be a good neighbor.  But he says the town has not been responsive to their stormwater management plan, submitted to DEEP.  Mayor Pete Bass says the plan was rejected by DEEP and changes have yet to be submitted by the company.  A lawsuit filed by a group of residents is pending.  Plans for the project call for clear cutting 80 acres.  That prompted concerns about erosion, wildlife habit removal and glare for pilots at the adjacent airport.
