KLWA’s Position Statement on The Walden Solar Facility

 The KLWA believes the Walden Solar Project, as proposed, is inappropriate for the Town of Lovell as it is inconsistent with the character of the town, the town comprehensive plan and the zoning of the area which is residential and rural.

However, the Lovell Planning Board has a legal process it must follow upon receiving an application. The KLWA will closely monitor that process and assess any potential involvement that may be appropriate given the mission of the Association.

KLWA Position: Vote Yes on the Moratorium

KLWA supports the proposed “Large Scale Solar Energy Systems Moratorium Ordinance.” This 180–day “pause” would give Lovell time to develop and adopt an ordinance that specifically addresses the proposed Walden Solar Project rather than rely on an existing land–use ordinance judged “similar” to the proposal such as cellular communications or light manufacturing.
