Today, Senator Pam Helming, New York State Senator Tom O'Mara and Senator Mark Walczyk held a roundtable with community stakeholders to discuss critically important energy issues. The discussion centered on large-scale solar projects, their impacts on local communities, the role of ORES (Office of Renewable Energy Siting and Electric Transmission) when it comes to siting renewable energy projects, and their lack of consideration of local input from municipalities.
