Norton Wants to Retry Solar Power at Landfill

Norton selectman Robert Kimball said on Thursday that he received a letter from a solar company that wishes to build a solar generating area at the landfill.

Kimball said that the monies obtained for the town over a 20-year period would equal $5M with this particular company’s planned claim.

Norton town manager Michael Yunits said the town had tried this before and the company on which they placed the bid never even started, and the town would be better served if they sent out a request for qualifications rather than a request for a proposal bid.
