The commission did not approve or reject the fields project. It formally asked environmental regulators to verify whether the project could affect flooding and whether its underground stormwater system can work with the site’s groundwater conditions before a permit decision. The commission also set June 9 for a public engagement session on the Community Energy Plan and said enforcement of the gas-powered leaf blower rules will begin Memorial Day weekend.
