Battery energy storage projects will be reviewed under a single permitting process, but the Board of Health can still address health, environmental, noise, emergency-response, and groundwater concerns within its jurisdiction. The Board did not adopt new battery storage regulations at this meeting, but discussed creating them proactively. Three transient lodging permit applications were approved, and meetings are scheduled to return in person with remote participation available in October.
