Letter: Monmouth should vote no on solar moratorium

KENNEBEC JOURNAL • March 7, 2021

Monmouth residents are preparing to vote on a potential moratorium which would apply retroactively to halt progress on a commercial solar project. Bath Iron Works is contributing to Maine’s emerging clean energy economy through its commitment to purchase the output of six solar farms, including the Days Corner Solar Project on Ridge Road. Monmouth is home to more than 40 proud BIW shipbuilders. Please support Maine’s emerging clean energy economy and secure the jobs of local shipbuilders by voting no on Article 2 at the March 9 special election. ~ Jon A. Fitzgerald, vice president and general counsel, Bath Iron Works
