Carson Power court hearing set May 3

PINE PLAINS — The case of Preserve Pine Plains, a group of residents seeking a reversal of the town Planning Board’s approval of a 10 megawatt solar farm to be built at Pulvers Corners will be heard before a state Supreme Court on Friday, May 3 in Putnam County.

Judge Anthony Mole has scheduled oral arguments at 10:30 a.m., giving parties ten minutes for their main arguments as well as some rebuttal time.

The case involves the approval last year of a project plan from Carson Power LLC of New York City. The Preserve Pine Plains filed an Article 78 action against the Planning Board and developers of the project, which envisions a Tier 3, 10MW complex consisting of 24,000 solar panels on farmland at 454 Bean River Road.

Since the petition was filed by Preserve Pine Plains Dec. 27, 2023, more than 120 documents have been submitted by sets of attorneys representing both sides of the case.
