SUN JOURNAL • May 25, 2021

On Monday night, the Lewiston Planning Board approved a 3.875-megawatt solar array by Taylor Hill Solar for 106 Taylor Hill Road. The development parent company, Ameresco Inc. of Framingham, Massachusetts, has projects all over the country along with a small number in Maine, a representative told the board. The 9,568-panel project will sit 2,000 feet from the end of Taylor Hill Road, according to a memo by City Planner Doug Greene, and disturb less than 20 acres on the 126-acre property. Construction is expected to start in August and take six months.
