Planning Board · Meeting of August 19, 2026

Worthington's Planning Board sorted draft conditions for Blue Wave's Ridge Road solar project and continued the hearing to September 24. Members categorized the board's 69 draft conditions and the applicant's list into nine areas, including fire, insurance, noise and water protection, and volunteered to review them. Olivia Crosby of WSP described larger culverts and added grading to reduce runoff toward the Ridge Road right of way.

Residents raised water supply, noise and drainage concerns, and a golf course representative asked for an indemnification condition. The board voted unanimously to continue.
