Boralex is hosting an In-person Open House for the Fort Edward Solar Project

  • Date: Tuesday, April 18, 2023
  • Time: 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm
  • Location: Durkeetown Church, 2 Durkeetown Road, Fort Edward, NY 12828

The Fort Edward Solar Project is a proposed 100 MW solar facility to be located within the town boundaries of Fort Edward and Argyle. Boralex is the developer and long-term owner and operator of this project and intends to be a contributing member of the community and good neighbor.

This event will be an opportunity to discuss the proposed Fort Edward Solar Project, ask one-on-one questions directly to a member of the Boralex team and review informational posters.  We are hosting this event to provide information, hear feedback from the community, and answer questions.

The meeting will be an open house style event with informational posters and staff to answer questions one-on-one. There will be no formal presentation, so you can arrive whenever is most convenient for you during the three-hour period. Light refreshments will be available.

Please let us know if you have any questions about the event itself. If you can’t make it, the posters will be added to the project webpage after the event on www.boralex.com/projects/fort-edward

You can also call or email us anytime with questions. The contact information for the project team is provided below.

We hope to see you there!
