LOVELL, Maine —
Lovell residents voted 202-30 to pass an ordinance killing a proposed 180-acre solar farm in a town meeting Saturday morning.
The farm, proposed by Walden Renewables, drew the ire of residents for its potential impact on the views of the surrounding mountains, as well as threatening the rural landscape of the town according to residents.
"I built here because of the beautiful mountain view," said Tom McLaughlin, a member of 'Our Eden Association', a group created to fight the solar farm. "Now you're going to see 100,000 solar panels in front of the mountains, that's going to diminish the value of my property."
