This history preserves the anonymized wording and earlier written responses in the imported project records. Earlier responses may describe a previous design or contain wording now under review. Use the linked consolidated question for the current response status.
A source record can contain several questions. These records are not a count of individual submissions or people. Original messages and dates are still being reconciled; this history does not establish that every project submission has been captured.

Public Community Meeting #1 · July 8, 2026Are you willing to change the system selection and the site design based on community feedback, rather than just handling objections? Change the footprint, the size, the layout, the spacing, and the model?
Yes. We have modified the site design since our first petition to amend the zoning bylaws for an energy storage overlay, transitioning from Megapack 2XL units to Megapack 3 units. We believe the Megapack 3 design offers the best solution for several reasons. It features safety improvements and a more efficient physical footprint. Its integrated design also means the manufacturer delivers it from the factory ready to install with inverters, transformers, and switchgear built directly into the unit. Having said that, we remain willing to investigate other designs with community input because many other battery storage options exist.

A written response is recorded. Sending an individual reply, considering feedback, and making a design change require separate evidence.
Will our feedback change anything? Individual reply: not confirmed. Consideration: not recorded. Design change: not confirmed.
Could a different design or battery type (sodium-ion) reduce risk? Individual reply: not confirmed. Consideration: not recorded. Design change: not confirmed.
Community Public Forum · September 30, 2026Could a different design or battery type reduce the risk?
Since July, we have looked at two ways. One is moving the equipment on the site, which has mostly not worked for several reasons. The other is a different technology. We are watching sodium-ion batteries, which are promising on safety but are not yet available at scale. Any change in the battery technology would have to go back through approvals. Nothing is decided.
