The Town Board of the Town of Westfield on Feb. 5 voted unanimously to set a public hearing to extend a moratorium on commercial battery energy storage systems. Councilmember David Spann offered the resolution; Councilmember James Herbert seconded it.
The hearing was set for Wednesday, March 5, 2025, at 7:25 p.m. in Eason Hall, 23 Elm Street, Westfield. Supervisor Martha R. Bills and all board members voted aye when the resolution was adopted.
Board members did not elaborate in the minutes on specific projects affected by the moratorium or the length of the proposed extension. The resolution formally places an extension before the public for comment at the March hearing, at which residents and other stakeholders can provide testimony.
The public hearing is the next procedural step; any adjustments to the moratorium would follow after the hearing and any subsequent board action.
