Councillor Kelly's Statement on Dunrobin Solar Project and Second Public Meeting Coming Up Later This Month:
On August 13th, Westbridge Renewable Energy Corp. held a virtual public consultation for their proposed 400-acre solar project in Dunrobin. Unfortunately, there were residents who were unable to join the virtual session, including myself, due to technical difficulties.
In my recent meeting with them, I requested that they hold a second consultation and was very pleased to receive a commitment from them to do just that.
The second meeting will be held Wednesday September 24th from 6-8pm at the West Carleton Community Complex 5670 Carp Rd, Kinburn, ON K0A 2H0.
This session will be held in person in an open house-style format for the first half, followed by a town hall-style Q and A for the last half. You can read full details in this public notice from Westbridge.
Public consultation on projects of this nature is extremely important and in several past applications in our ward the applicants have fallen short in that regard. Hearing residents' questions and the responses they receive is a vital part of my decision-making process when considering support for a Municipal Support Resolution.
There remain some important unanswered questions about this particular project application, and I look forward to hearing the updated info from Westbridge, as well as the feedback from residents.
If you have a question about this or any other Ward or City issue, just send an email to Clarke.Kelly@Ottawa.ca or call our office at 613-580-2475. You can also submit a report to Ottawa.ca/en/3-1-1.
