Overview: During a recent meeting, the Millburn Town Zoning Board addressed several significant proposals, with the most newsworthy being the discussion around installing solar panels at St. Rose Lima Catholic Church.

Representatives for the church presented their case, emphasizing the alignment of the project with the town’s sustainability goals and the subsequent need for approval following initial construction steps. The debate also included considerations for the visual impact of the solar panels on neighboring properties and the church’s continued functionality as a house of worship post-installation.
