In Massachusetts, abutters within 300 feet of the project boundary are typically notified via certified mail for public hearings.

Abutters have raised concerns about various issues, including potential decreases in property values, the visual impact of the fencing, noise studies (or lack thereof), and the overall change in land use from a historic golf course to an industrial solar farm.

The Town of Falmouth's official website, as well as the specific pages for the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals, are the primary sources for meeting agendas, minutes, and official project documents.
