OAKLAND — The Oakland Town Board reviewed the language in the road agreement for the 35-acre solar farm planned off Hope Lake Road on Tuesday.
The board approved in July the conditions and stormwater agreement for the solar farm at Kornstedt Farms.
Oakland Town Board Chair Laura Payne said the town has no control over whether the solar farm goes in, so the road agreement protects the town in the case of potential road use and damage.
The road agreement included guidelines on what roads construction workers could drive on, in this case only County Highway A and Hope Lake Road.
Payne also said the solar company must be done with construction by the time the town starts its project on Hope Lake Road, which is March 1, 2028.
The solar company will also need to repair any roads if they were damaged during construction and will do an inspection ahead of starting construction to see the state of the roads beforehand.
