BUFFALO, N.Y. — Community pushback about a Unity Island solar farm to service the Buffalo Sewer Authority's main plant has prompted the developer to halt work on the $5 million project.
"It is not prudent that we continue moving forward with the solar array project while the proposed site is in dispute," said Daniel Montante, Montante Solar president. The issue was first raised at a Sept. 8 Buffalo Planning Board meeting, where the project was approved.
The 4.72-megawatt project on 28 vacant acres near the plant included 12,000 solar panels and 23 inverters.
