Could Broadleaf preserve the land for Granby’s future?

A recent survey of 49 residents found the community evenly divided over the proposed Broadleaf Solar project: 41 percent supported it, 41 percent opposed it, and 18 percent were undecided or wanted more information.
The voluntary survey was intended to identify residents’ questions and priorities and share them with town officials. Although respondents disagreed about the project, they showed considerable agreement about what Granby should pursue if it moves forward.

As Granby considers capital projects

For many of the capital projects under consideration, it is not a matter of doing it or not doing it, but rather of planning it out and spreading the long-term cost by bonding, versus paying cash for work done on an emergency or ASAP basis. Such are the complications that arise from waiting too long to “save money.” Far better to plan ahead to determine the needs but also the priorities, and tackle capital needs and its costs to taxpayers on a well thought out schedule.
