West Penn Township supervisors on a 2-0 vote this week approved a maintenance easement agreement between the township and PAB Solar 31 LLC and PAB Solar 32 LLC.

In August, supervisors gave conditional approval to the final plan on the Ridge Road Solar Land Development, which calls for about 33,000 solar panels on 79 acres near the intersection of Ridge Road and Ash Circle.

The board tabled the vote in July because members were looking for a decommissioning plan from the developer, a land development and stormwater agreement, which have since been submitted.

Board Chairman Tony Prudenti was absent this week.

In March, supervisors adopted an ordinance to amend and add provisions regarding decommissioning of solar energy collection devices.

The company that purchased the former Villas Crossing Golf Course in West Penn for a proposed 161-acre solar farm had not approached township officials with any plans.

A property transfer was completed in January from Yule Tree LP to Solareit2-A-II-LLC for the property at 521 Golf Road, in the amount of $1,959,000. That is the site of the former Villas Crossing Golf Course.
