Sherborn is proud to be a Green Community. That honor took on added meaning at the final Planning Board meeting of 2015 when the Board granted a special permit modification to ADESA to add canopies topped by solar panels to its car parking/storage facility on the Sherborn/Framingham town line.
The system will have a capacity of 4.5 MW, of which 82% will be located in Sherborn and the remainder in Framingham. The system will consist of 5 solar canopies. Each
canopy is 102' 9" wide. The length varies: Three are 508' 11" long,
one is 529' 9" long and one is 465' 2" long. About 82% of the
facility will be in Sherborn and 18% in Framingham. The facility is projected
to provide about 87% of the electricity used by ADESA.
Construction is expected to start in the Spring and be completed by summer.
