Taber residents distraught over proposed solar farms
TABER – Residents in the Town and Municipal District of Taber have spoken out against a solar power generation project proposed for an area approximately five kilometres north of the community.
At an M.D. of Taber council meeting on October 11, around 40 members of the public voiced their concerns over their residential proximity to the proposed project located west of Range Road 165, and north of Township Road 102A, near the AltaLink substation.
The articulated irritation from attendees frequently halted the presentation delivered by representatives on behalf of the project.
Currently, 15 houses sit adjacent to the proposed site and homeowners to those 15 houses spoke candidly on their fear of property devaluation during and post construction.
