Large solar farm proposed for Thompsons Lake Road | The Altamont Enterprise

KNOX — A 4.4-megawatt solar farm that’s proposed for 1688 Thompsons Lake Road, an undeveloped Knox property of roughly 33 acres owned by Mark and Janet Viscio, will not be subject until a public hearing until at least December.

Knox Planning Board chairman Tom Wolfe told The Enterprise that the town board must first designate the planning board as lead agency — the entity that determines whether an environmental impact statement is required for a project and then is responsible for the preparation of that statement.
