WORCESTER COUNTY, Md.– A public hearing tonight invites neighbors to comment on a solar generating project proposed for Berlin.
Developers Soltage MD DevCo, LLC, and Berlin Living, LLC, are looking to build six co-located solar facilities covering 112 of 157 acres across two properties on North Main Street, northwest of the US 113 and US 50 intersection.
