NYSERDA reaches MOU for Witmer Road Landfill solar project
6/25/24
The former Witmer Road landfill in the Town of Wheatfield is a step closer to potentially housing a solar farm.
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority announced recently it has reached a memorandum of understanding on the 60-acre site. It was done with Niagara County, Wheatfield and the Niagara County Refuse Trust.
The county gave permission for a “project feasibility assessment” back in January. If the study does find the landfill is suitable, the county would be able to request proposals from solar energy companies.
