Bennington under pressure not to give in to solar developer

BENNINGTON — Residents of the Apple Hill area off Route 7 are pressing the Selectboard to stay the course in opposing solar generating projects they contend ignore guidelines in the town plan and would harm the scenic area.
“I think the main thing is there are quite a few of us who think solar is important but it needs to be on the right site,” said Peter Lawrence, a local attorney and one of those opposed to a settlement with a developer that the board is considering.
