This corrupt action needs to be stopped. Don't destroy a forest to make solar power! Better alternatives exist.

Save our forests.

Alternatives to clear-cutting a forest need to be explored. Vermont has huge solar farms along RT 7 which appear to be placed on unused farmland, or a portion of an active field. Car parks at public locations such as schools can be easily covered with solar arrays, as was done for EV charging at the Suffolk County Center in Riverhead, NY. Inspired and creative approaches to siting solar collection fields are required.

it is outrageous that our beautiful natural environment will be decimated when indeed there are other places to put solar panels that would not entail cutting down over 70 acres of forest.

I am totally against this beautiful mountain, full of wildlife and vegetation to be cleared for a solar plant. Please don't let this go through. Also, a disaster for future generations.

I am against this plan. It takes away beautiful natural countryside for a 20 year plan to subsidize a private company. That makes no sense. If we are worried about getting more power, how about offer incentives to homeowners in the same area to install solar? Why reward a private company that has no long term stake if the profits don't work out.

This is an outrageous plan on all accounts! No benefit to the town, to the state, to anyone!

We only have one lake and it's beautiful mountains. My family has enjoyed them since 1930's. Stop this madness and leave it alone!

There are plenty of commercial roofs to place solar on, no need to clear cut forests.

Candlewood Lake is a treasure that should not be ruined and with no benefit for the community if that horrible act happens.

Please don't cut down our beautiful and useful trees and ruin the views for everyone around, especially those that pay taxes every year to live in that area.

We want to keep our beautiful mountain and trees. This project does not benefit the residents of New Milford at all!

As a 40+ year resident of New Milford, I urge the Council to deny the request to clear cut approximately 70 acres of core forest.

No to solar power on the mountain No to solar power that will not benefit New Milford at all Locate plant at old brass company and be sure that New Milford gets income for allowing it in our town. Tax credits and the energy going out of state is ridiculous!!!!
