Top foliage estimates
The Explore Fall foliage map says the Saratoga Springs area will see moderate fall colors beginning the week of Oct. 13 and hitting top foliage about Oct. 17. It will stay pretty until the leaves move “past peak” on Oct. 25, the site says.
Solar in Moreau questioned
The Moreau Town Board is questioning the advice given them by the town’s Planning Board about two major proposed solar projects proposed in town, the Post-Star says. The two projects proposed to be built by Renua Energy, and operated by Lightstar Renewables, would generate 8.75 megawatts for use by residents in the surrounding communities, but the planning board wondered about fire suppression and, on one project, the view from the Northway and whether that project should be allowed on what could be farmland. Officials with the companies say the fear of fire is a bit overblow as batteries, which will not be on site, offer a larger threat of fire, the story says.
