Dear Governor Lamont,

I am writing to formally invite you to visit the Town of East Windsor to see firsthand the significant impact the massive solar array farms are having on our local landscape, community character, and nuisance noise that continues to emit from these facilities most of the day.

As you probably know, last week, the Connecticut Siting Council approved a 150-acre expansion of the Gravel Pit Solar project despite overwhelming opposition from local residents who gathered several thousand signatures for a formal petition.

As one of the elected representatives for this district, I believe it is vital for you to witness first-hand the growing tension between our state's renewable energy goals and certain towns being asked to take on an unfair burden of these massive solar installations.

I would welcome the opportunity to walk the site with you, discuss how we can jointly mitigate the issues area residents seem to be dealing with, and find a solution that puts the community's voices in the forefront of future developments.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards, Carol Hall
