GCRG Public Forum

Alternative and Renewable Energy Public Forum and Discussion

The Guilderland Coalition for Responsible Growth hosted a Public Forum and Discussion about alternative and renewable energy with a focus on solar farms at the Guilderland Public Library on Wednesday, January 29, 2020 at 7:00 p.m.

As we all know, there is increased development in the entire area with respect to Solar Energy as evidenced by what is happening in Guilderland and neighboring towns.  Our intent was to openly discuss this topic in an effort to be more educated and aware of various alternatives before they become contentious as they have been for other towns.

on the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR)
and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Process

On Tuesday, November 26th, 2019, the GCRG hosted our first public forum at the Guilderland Public Library.  It was our intention that this forum might help us build a more open dialog with the Town of Guilderland so they better understand our concerns and we understand their positions on current and future development.
