ATHENS — Six years after developers made their initial proposal, the Flint Mine Solar Project has the green light.

The Athens Town Board is scheduled to meet Monday for an update on the project, which is located at the southern end of the town of Coxsackie and the northern section of the town of Athens.

Flint Mine will advance New York’s emissions goals.

“This will help reduce the community’s reliance on fossil fuels,” Athens Town Supervisor Michael Pirrone said Friday.

Hudson Solar and Amber Infrastructure are the current investors in the Flint Mine Solar project.

Flint Mine Solar will supply 175,000 megawatt hours of renewable energy equivalent to the average annual electricity of 21,000 Greene County homes.

The project will include the construction of internal infrastructure such as transformers, inverters, voltage cable collection systems, an onsite substation, access roads a temporary laydown area and security fencing, Pirrone said Friday.
