Sterling Boards Tackle Solar Project, Event Budgets; Two Meetings Cancelled
The Board of Selectmen's July 1 agenda included discussions on the Brookfield Husky Solar project, a proposed water filtration system, and the sale of an old bus, making it the most consequential recent meeting item in Sterling. However, minutes have not yet been published, so it is not yet possible to confirm what was decided versus merely discussed.
Board of Selectmen — July 1
The selectmen's agenda listed five items: an update on the Brookfield Husky Solar (Verogy) application for a CT Siting Council certificate, a discussion on proposed ordinance updates, discussion on the sale of an old bus, discussion on a water filtration system, and approval of bills for the period June 16–29, 2026. Because only the agenda is available and minutes have not been published, the outcome of each item — including whether bills were approved — cannot be confirmed from the record.
Family Day Committee — June 23
The Sterling Family Day Committee met to review the budget for fireworks and coordinate logistics for upcoming events. Agenda items included a fireworks budget review, duck ticket sales, a breakfast date change, and changing the February dinner menu from pasta to chicken. Minutes are not yet published, so no decisions can be confirmed.
