A large group of residents, along with local and state lawmakers, are urging the Connecticut Siting Council to reject a proposal to expand an existing solar array, arguing the council ignores public input and the impact to the community. The Siting Council voted on Thursday to reopen the docket for the expansion of the Gravel Pit Solar array, but residents and lawmakers may be encouraged by some of the comments from council members. Attorney and Selectman Keith Yagaloff has filed a formal legal objection to reopening the Gravel Pit Solar docket, arguing the large expansion is an “overreach,” according to the petitioning group. In the end the council voted 5-1 with one abstention to reopen the application, with Chairwoman Elin Katz assuring that the voices of residents will be considered.
