Solar Planning Committee

Leyden has been participating in a year-long community planning process with UMass Clean Energy Extension to proactively plan for solar energy development.

Leyden Solar Survey due April 30.

All Leyden households received by mail a Solar Survey developed by UMass that will allow us to understand the range of attitudes in Leyden regarding solar development. If you prefer, you can fill out the online version of the survey here. There are blank surveys at the Library and Town Office.

Please send back your solar survey by April 30, either using the self-addressed stamped evelope that came with the survey or leaving it in the drop box at the Library or Town Offices.

Leyden Solar Infrastructure Survey.

UMass also produced a comprehensive plan of opportunities and limitations for solar development in Leyden based on our bylaws, terrain, land use, conservation restrictictions, power grid, and many other characteristics. You can view the Leyden Solar Infrastructure Study here.

Please direct any questions you have to selectboard1@townofleyden.com.
