Maine city reaches deal to establish New England’s largest solar farm
http://bangordailynews.com/2016/05/04/politics/sanford-reaches-deal-to-establish-new-englands-largest-solar-farm/SANFORD, Maine — If all goes well, Ranger Solar will begin construction in 2018 on a 50-megawatt, utility-grade solar array designed to sell energy to the power grid.
The City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to authorize City Manager Steve Buck to execute a land lease for 226 acres at Sanford Regional Airport to Ranger Solar LLC, which will do business locally as Sanford Solar LLC.
“This public-private partnership with Ranger Solar LLC is nothing short of phenomenal,” Buck told the council. He called the project a “very exciting and promising opportunity for development” at the 1,100- acre airport.
But he also cautioned that it will take time.
