Today I have some informative information to share with you regarding opportunities and threats to your land due to solar leasing and some good news regarding JLCNY funding.
Currently land men are seeking leases for solar farms. While previously operating further down state, now they are approaching landowners in the southern tier area. Most of the leases they are offering are worse than the worst natural gas leases we ever saw. But some may be negotiated.
The important point to remember is to not fall for the land man’s tricks, not sign anything, and review the lease with an attorney experienced with such leasing matters (that may not be the family attorney you have been going to for more common legal matters).
Also, please watch the videos posted on the JLCNY website related to Solar leasing. Here are the links…
And here is some additional solar related information…
Now I’ll end up with some good news and gratitude.
The Bainbridge Area Landowners Group has been conducting a can and bottle drive. As a result they recently donated $1,462.00 to the JLCNY!!! So a great big thank you goes out to the coalition’s leaders, organizers, and landowners who made such a generous donation. It is greatly appreciated!!!
For anyone else who would like to donate to support the ongoing efforts of the JLCNY please send a check or money order in whatever amount you can to:
JLCNY
PO Box 2839
Binghamton, NY 13902
Your donations will be similarly greatly appreciated.
Until next time, have a wonderful summer!
Warm Regards,
