Another #SolarFarm project is underway for the #Groveville section of #BuxtonMaine -- near an existing power distribution line. That could power nearby towns!

There were concerns about the nearby waterways, but those were addressed, and there will be a forest buffer for wildlife to cross.

I realized that I drive by that spot when I come home from work (I only commute once a week). I was wondering what was going on. A lot of pine trees were taken down, but they grow like weeds around here.
