Otisfield select board urges residents to approve solar ordinance tonight

SUN JOURNAL • January 25, 2023

Eleven months after voters approved a moratorium to pause solar development in Otisfield, the town’s planning board presented its proposed ordinance to townspeople during a public hearing last Thursday. A special town meeting will be held tonight for an up or down vote on the ordinance at the Otisifeld Community Hall on SR 121 at 7 p.m. If voters reject the ordinance, any solar developer will be able to submit plans for solar farm construction with no local oversight.
