Overview: In a recent Hampden Planning Board meeting, the board voted to allow the withdrawal of a special permit application for a 4.92 megawatt agricultural ground-mounted solar facility by Glendale Road Development LLC without prejudice. The decision, following advice from Town Counsel, gives the applicant the possibility to resubmit the project at any time without having to wait for a two-year period. This move comes after the project was denied an order of conditions by the Conservation Commission, prompting the developers to reconsider their options, which may include revising the project, abandoning it, or filing appeals.
