Another North Springfield solar array might be in the town’s future.

  1. Will be interested to see if NOSAG gives this proposal the same amount of dissing as the Win Stanley proposal.

  2. RE: Under the Green Peak/McPadden proposal, the town would have an option to purchase the solar array in the sixth year of the contract.

    LOL. Hey, these rubes were stupid enough to let state build a prison here. I'll bet we can sell them a "solar bridge", too!

    What a set up! Springfield will walk right into the trap!

  3. Haha love it! Prison, sober houses, rehab centers and solar panels as far as the eye can see... Postcard perfect! Wish you were here! Ahh if Rockwell or Frost could paint a beautiful picture or tell in a lovely poem...

    You really think Springfield has ever been a picture postcard sort of Vermont village? Look around its always been an industrial town. So what is different with large scale solar energy production?

    1. Well said Jose, this isn't Woodstock, let's grow our grand list with industry, not picturesque landscapes.

      John, of course NOSAG will oppose this solar project, but maybe not as vehemently as they did the biomass plant and Winstanley solar project, because it is not directly in their backyard.

  5. Actually Springfield has a lot of lovely niches. Take a look at the falls near the bridge on Clinton St. Were it not for the hideous dilapidated buildings that butt up against the Black River, Springfield could make much more out of the scenic spots.

    As for North Springfield - YUCK. Nothing pretty to see, move along.

  7. In other news, the select board is considering a proposal to locate a pig in a poke on a valuable industrial site, with the option to purchase the pig in six years, once it has passed its prime. The board is seriously considering the proposal, describing it as an energetic idea that could really bring home the bacon for Springfield. Later in the meeting, the board reviewed a draft of the town's epitaph...
