On Wednesday, February 24, the Commission announced its decision to use solar power to help generate power for municipalities in the area. According to the plan, a landfill, a parking lot and standing buildings will be used to generate energy.
This isn't the beginning of a solar power initiative for the area. Suitable structures for solar panels were pointed out back in 2008 by the NJMC.
A pilot Municipal Solar Assistance Program was created as well, in order to help school districts and municipal buildings begin to use renewable resources. The NJMC paid for rooftop assessments in order to see if a building's roof would qualify for solar panels. The assessments paid for include two fire companies, the Department of Public Works, a library, a senior center, a high school, a middle school and Jefferson, Roosevelt and Washington schools. The results of the assessment are still under review by the NJMC.
