The Town of St. Armand held public hearings and a special board meeting on June 22, 2026, addressing three key issues: the extension of the Rockledge Sewer District, a one-year moratorium on community solar energy systems, and a ban on Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The Town Board, led by Supervisor Davina Thurston, moved to take over the Rockledge Sewer District from residents to improve maintenance. They adopted Local Law #3 of 2026 to impose a one-year moratorium on community solar projects to allow time for developing proper zoning and building permit regulations. Additionally, following contentious public comment regarding safety concerns (fire risk, water contamination) and lack of direct community benefit, the Board supported a ban on BESS facilities, citing a petition with 187 signatures against the proposed facility versus 62 in favor. The meeting concluded with the adoption of Resolution #50 adopting the solar moratorium.
