GCRG Virtual Meeting

Date and Time

At this meeting we will primarily be discussing the following 2 projects on the Guilderland Planning Board Agenda for the meeting on Wednesday, Nov 18:

  • Site Plan Review for an 8MW Ground Mounted Solar Photo-Voltaic System at the rear of 6120 Johnston Road
  • Request for a variance from a building height of 35 feet to a building height of 45 feet at 2390 Western Avenue

The Steering Committee will have a private discussion after the open public meeting.

The GCRG typically meets first and third Mondays of every month at 7:00 PM, however because the Town Board will be meeting on Tuesday, December 1st we will have an extra meeting in November on Monday the 30th. 

Due to the global coronavirus pandemic we are meeting virtually.  GCRG meetings are open to anyone who wishes to be involved and help support the group or just desires to have a better understanding of the development of the town.

If there is something you would like to discuss at the meeting, please let us know through our Contact Us form.
