Augusta city councilors say they weren't informed of the state's plans to install 8,000 solar modules on 15 acres of land at interstate exits in Augusta, but state officials say they would have been willing to hold a public hearing if there had been interest. The project did not undergo any review by the city’s Planning Board because state officials said projects within the right-of-way of the federal transportation system do not require approval from the municipalities interstates pass through.
