Selectmen Discuss Solar Application, Other Town Business

Sterling officials this week began early discussions on a proposed solar project that has filed an application with the Connecticut Siting Council, according to the Board of Selectmen’s July 1 agenda. The meeting was one of several held or postponed in the past two weeks, though no final votes were available because minutes have not yet been published.

Board of Selectmen

The board’s agenda included an update on the Brookfield Husky Solar project by Verogy, which is seeking a certificate from the state siting council. Selectmen were also scheduled to discuss proposed ordinance updates, the potential sale of an old town bus, and a new water filtration system. The agenda also called for routine approval of bills covering the period from June 16 through June 29, 2026.

Family Day Committee

On June 23, the Family Day Committee met to review logistics for upcoming events. Agenda items included a fireworks budget review, duck ticket sales, a possible date change for a breakfast event, and switching the February dinner menu from pasta to chicken. No minutes were available from that meeting.

Cancellations and Rescheduling

The Inland Wetland & Watercourses Commission canceled its June 25 meeting because it had no agenda items. It is next scheduled to convene on July 23. The Agricultural Commission canceled its July 2 meeting and rescheduled for July 9; no business was conducted.

Coming up

The Board of Finance will meet on July 8 with an agenda focused largely on routine financial reports. Members are expected to approve June meeting minutes and review reports from the treasurer, revenue collector, and selectmen. The board also plans to discuss budget development plans for the next fiscal year, though no public hearings or major policy votes are listed.
