Planners table W. Penn solar farm

The West Penn planning commission has tabled the Ridge Road solar land development plan, township supervisors said.

In June, supervisors by a resolution approved the final plan for the project near the intersection of Ash Circle and Ridge Road.

However, it was noted then that approval for the Gregory and Jodi Duschak Solar Energy Collection Land Development was contingent upon developers satisfying comments required by ARRO Engineering.

The plan, which calls for 63 rows of solar panels on 34 acres of private land zoned for agricultural use, also needs approval from the Schuylkill County Planning Commission.

Supervisors granted conditional approval to preliminary plans in May on a recommendation from the West Penn Township Planning Commission.

The township planners have reviewed recent changes and recommended that supervisors approve the final submission.
