Solar Project Could Draw Crowd in Freeburg – WKOK

FREEBURG — Freeburg residents are being urged to attend a public meeting  to discuss concerns involving a solar farm project near the borough’s water supply.  The Freeburg Municipal Authority and Borough Council will hold the meeting at 7pm at the Freeburg Community Center.
Officials say they want at least one person from each household to attend.  Brookfield Renewable received approval for two solar projects in Washington Township. Borough officials say concerns include stormwater runoff, possible contamination near wells and the water treatment facility, and long-term effects as materials age.
