Solar Farm vs Disc Golf: Simsbury's Dilemma

Published 1 week, 6 days ago
Description

A solar farm proposal in Simsbury, Connecticut, is facing opposition from an unlikely source: a nearby disc golf course. The plan, by Lodestar Energy, would wipe out two-thirds of Tower Ridges layout, potentially shutting down the business. The disc golf owners are rallying against the project, citing job loss and environmental impact. Simsbury leaders also express concerns about the projects effect on scenic views and hiking trails. The Connecticut Siting Council will decide on the project by June 6th, after a virtual hearing on April 23rd. The debate highlights the challenge of balancing progress and preservation in communities.
