The Middlesex County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to begin negotiations with Dominion Energy to build a solar farm on the old landfill and adjacent Thacker property at Stormont. The 25-year lease would bring the county nearly $2 million, with annual payments escalating 2 percent. Some residents voiced concerns about rising vinyl chloride levels at the landfill, citing potential risks to the Dragon Run watershed. The board plans to address the concerns at its October meeting before any construction begins.
