A new local law regulating the use of solar energy in the
town of Catskill will soon be going into effect.
The Town Board recently held a public hearing on the law
authorizing adoption of zoning provisions that would allow solar farms in the
town and permit the addition of solar energy systems on individual homes.
Catskill Town Supervisor Doreen Davis said the town has been
gauging a lot of interest from individual homeowners and solar energy companies
who want to know the requirements the town has for alternative energy systems.
