Vote in our New Poll Would You Support a County Utility

With solar power on the lips of many people around the County, including a proposed multi-acre solar farm in the Town of Schoharie, hopes of a county electrical utility may be soon to follow. Presently only the Village of Richmondville has municipal power, which runs at a significantly less expensive rate than National Grid.

There was a proposal for a similar utility around 2006 that never materialized. With high state and federal incentives for building a large solar farm or other means of local power, would you support an initiative for a local utility?
