TOWN OF LOWELL
NOTICE TO RESIDENTS
The Lowell Select Board would like to remind town residents that, despite the best efforts of the town road crew not to do so, sometimes items within the town highway right-of-way get damaged, either by snow removal or other highway maintenance equipment. The town is not responsible for damages obtained within this 49 ½ foot right-of-way. The Select Board is asking that residents beware before leaving or placing objects such as vehicles, fences, trees, signs, etc. within these boundaries. Objects may be removed at the owner’s expense.

Lowell Residents –PUBLIC NOTICE– Northland Solar (MHG Solar) is proposing a 30-acre solar field to be located on Route 100, the parcel of land between 2255 and 2451 VT RT100, behind the substation across from the school. For more information on the project, see the site plans, impact assessments, and other documents filed on the Public Utilities Commission site https://epuc.vermont.gov/?q=node/64/207351/FV-PFEXAFF-PTL
The parcel in question is zoned as Rural Agricultural. Large-scale solar developments are not in line with Lowell's Town Plan, nor are they an allowed or conditional use according to Town of Lowell Zoning By-laws. The Town of Lowell Vision Statement reads as follows: "It is the primary and fundamental intention of Lowell to remain a rural, agricultural town that encourages farming and a town that encourages individual businesses and entrepreneurship of a scale that can integrate harmoniously into its residential areas."
Due to an error at the town office, this project has advanced to the permitting phase before town officials became aware of it. However, the Public Utilities Commission is still accepting public comments on the matter - and your voice counts! Lowell residents are encouraged to submit comments directly on the PUC website here: https://epuc.vermont.gov/?q=node/32 Reference case # 25-2346-PET
Please share this information with your neighbors so they have a chance to voice their thoughts at the above link. Comments can also be emailed to the Town of Lowell Zoning Board at lowellzoning@gmail.com, or mail a note to the Lowell Zoning Board, 2170 Vermont Rte. 100, Lowell, VT 05847 Please include your name/address as we will need to confirm you are a resident of Lowell.
