Group files suit to halt NY solar project

PINE PLAINS — A group of neighbors and landowners near the proposed community solar project at Pulvers Corners has filed a legal action in New York Supreme Court in Dutchess County seeking an injunction prohibiting any work at the site.

The group of residents, adopting the name Preserve Pine Plains, filed an Article 78 action against the town Planning Board, certain property owners and developers of the project, which envisions a Tier 3 solar field consisting of 24,000 solar panels on farmland at Pulvers Corners.

The Planning Board gave the project a green light on Nov. 28 after months of review and many public meetings, workshops and hearings. On Dec. 27, Preserve Pine Plains filed its request to halt the project, opposing the actions of the Planning Board under an Article 78 proceeding, a legal provision that challenges the actions of a local board.
