Solar Panels For the Landfill?A Long Island Green Energy company is proposing to use the landfill on Youngs Avenue as a solar energy farm by installing solar panels over much of the 76 acre parcel.

The proposal, which will be heard by the Board in detail on Thursday is supposed to provide enough electric energy for the Town to partially pay for the Town's annual power bill which is over $2 million dollars.

The Town engineers have indicated that it could participate in the project by leasing the land for such purposes for about $500 thousand dollars a year.
