Subject: [CPEO-BIF] Promoting Solar Power on Brownfields in Brockton, Massachusetts
 
The construction of photovoltaic arrays on a contaminated land in Brockton, Massachusetts, illustrates that the availability of suitable land and local willingness to go solar are not enough. To build solar arrays on contaminated lands, the finances have to work. The Brockton case shows how difficult this was, but the passage of new state legislation should make similar projects in Massachusetts easier to consummate.
