Protecting Yorktown’s Residential Districts from Large-Scale Ground-Mounted Solar

About Us

We are concerned citizens working together to ensure that solar energy is developed responsibly—protecting our communities, landscapes, and property values. While we support renewable energy, we oppose large-scale, ground-mounted solar in residential districts that could permanently alter the character of our town.

Yorktown is a beautiful bedroom community with natural woodlands and a suburban charm that must be preserved. Yorktown’s forests and green spaces could be cut clear for large-scale, ground-mounted solar installations, harming property values and the environment.

We are calling on the Town Board to act now to prevent the destruction of our community’s character.

What We Support

✓ Residential Rooftop Solar Installations
✓ Commercial Solar on Existing Structures
✓ Solar Development in Industrial Zones
✓ Preserving the Beauty & Character of our Communities

What We Oppose

⨯ Large-Scale Ground-Mounted Solar in Residential Districts
⨯ Loss of Yorktown’s Natural Beauty
⨯ Destruction of Wildlife Habitats
⨯ Decline in Property Values

Why This Matters

Yorktown’s Future

Our Town Board must stop considering reckless development of large-scale ground-mounted solar in residential districts. These projects will permanently alter the character of our neighborhoods and diminish residents quality of life.
Preserve Yorktown’s character and livability for its residents.

No Benefit for Residents

Large-scale ground-mounted solar in residential districts won’t lower electricity costs or provide power for Yorktown residents. Instead, these projects benefit developers and outside areas, leaving local homeowners with none of the advantages.
Residents get the burden, while energy is sent elsewhere!

Property Impacts

Large-scale ground-mounted solar in residential districts destroy the suburban feel of our neighborhoods and reduce property values. Once installed, the impact to our communities is irreversible, leaving behind permanent damage.
Once they’re built, the damage is done!

Environmental Risks

Large-scale ground-mounted solar in residential districts often leads to widespread deforestation, eliminates wildlife habitats, and permanently alters our natural landscapes. The damage is permanent.
Once our green spaces are gone, they’re gone!

Yorktown must take action to prevent the destruction of our community’s character.

Supporting clean energy while protecting local communities.
