Overview: During a recent meeting of the Newbury Historical Commission, members discussed a variety of issues, with a portion of the meeting devoted to the proposed solar energy project on Scotland Road. The project, led by Pure Sky Energy of SC Scotland Mass Solar LLC, plans to install solar panels across a 42-acre site within a larger 71-acre parcel. Concerns were raised about the historical significance of the land, which the Massachusetts Historical Commission previously flagged for its potential status as Native American hunting grounds. The project has been met with apprehension over its impact on the agricultural landscape and the visibility of installations, as dictated by town bylaws.
