Town Board Meeting February 19th, 2026

During the February 19th Town Board meeting, there will be a presentation by a group that is proposing the installation of an energy storage battery facility on Trudeau Road. This is just an informational presentation so that we can understand exactly what is being proposed. The energy storage facility has not been approved; no building permit has been given.
The Town Board will also be considering adopting a one-year moratorium to prohibit battery energy storage facilities so that we can ensure we are taking the time to hear if our residents want us to allow them in St. Armand, what the ramifications or benefits of this might be, allow us time to adopt a building permit for these facilities, if approved, and a Local Law regarding what rules and regulations we may need if they are approved.
This is the first company that is interested in a battery energy storage facility in Essex County. This is new technology with new concerns, we want to make sure we are educating ourselves and our residents about this project and take into account all of the pros and cons, a one-year moratorium will allow the Town Board and our residents time to consider this and learn about these types of facilities.
Thank you!
