You got me curious, and the plot thickens.

In September 2024, they voted “to pursue steps for a moratorium on solar development within the town except for roof mounted solar”

They never did actually create a moratorium, they just voted saying that they wanted to. I actually checked the ordinances, and no such ordinance exists. The latest town meeting minutes actually say they are still working on it.

Basically, this whole article is stretching the truth, and I would expect a journalist to look up the ordinance if they are going to claim it exists.
