Organizational Meeting
The Organizational Meeting is a summary of almost all of the Town’s personnel, contracts, committees and projects. The Minutes are a good reference for the year.
Town of Manlius Solar Project
The Town of Manlius’s first approved solar project is finally completed! The 4.35 MW solar facility on the landfill on Bowman Road has achieved interconnection with National Grid. The Town will receive lease payments for 20 years. Solar Simplified, the designated retail broker, offered subscriptions to Town residents, with an advanced sign up opportunity for the residents within the viewshed of the solar facility. Utility subscribers receive a 10% discount on both delivery and production fees. The Town itself was the first to sign up, saving taxpayers money right away. Community response has been terrific! Subscriptions sold out in less than a week. As a result of this project, the Town of Manlius will be awarded $130,000 from NYSERDA from the Clean Energy Communities program for future clean energy projects, in addition to $20,000 from the Solar Simplified subscriptions.
