NORTH HUNTINGDON OFFICIALS TO VOTE NEXT MONTH ON SOLAR POWER INSTALLATION ORDINANCE

Officials in North Huntingdon are expected to hold a vote next month on joining other municipalities in passing an ordinance to govern solar power installations.  The Trib reports that The township commissioners met this month to request revisions to a proposed ordinance regulating solar power arrays.  The revised draft, authored by assistant manager Ryan Fonzi, maintains requirements for large utility-scale systems, including a minimum of 50 acres and a 250-foot setback from all property lines. The proposal also addresses residential installations.  A vote is possible in January.
