Wawa Municipal Council's set to consider supporting a couple proposed local battery storage projects and more in a special meeting today.
Included on the agenda are CAO memos about and resolutions supporting the proposed projects: a 75 megawatt project to be located on Pinewood Drive, which was presented to Council at their November 18th meeting; and a 40 megawatt battery energy storage project to be located on private property along High Falls Road - the latter project is described as "a second site and energy project" from the same proponent behind another battery storage project proposed for Wawa Airport land, which Council backed in their November 18th meeting.
Council will also consider an application under the Downtown Wawa Community Improvement Plan Financial Incentives Program, and three "in-camera" items: a personal issue; a legal issue relating to a section of the Municipal Act allows the cancellation, reduction, or refunding of property taxes; and an item relating to labour relations or employee negotiations.
Outside of the "in-camera" parts, the meeting will be open to the public, starting at 1 o'clock this afternoon in Council Chambers - the former police station on the ground floor of the Municipal Building - and will be broadcast live on the Municipality's YouTube channel.
