THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The Borough of Buena has formally adopted Ordinance 787, approving the Buena Borough Landfill Redevelopment Plan to convert Borough-owned landfill parcels (Block 120, Lots 3, 5 and 6) into a solar energy generation facility. The plan, prepared by planner Tiffany A. Morrissey and endorsed by the Land Use Board, establishes standards for a solar array and related uses while also providing for capping and closure of the landfill and maintaining existing Borough operations on part of the site.
No developer or EPC contractor is identified in the ordinance, and there is no reference to an issued RFP or selected vendor, indicating the Borough is still at the planning and entitlement stage. This creates an early-stage opportunity for solar developers, engineering firms, landfill-closure specialists, and financing partners to help Buena move from a conceptual redevelopment plan into a funded, permitted project and eventual procurement. A useful next conversation would focus on structuring a PPA or lease, landfill cap design compatible with solar, interconnection and permitting strategy, and grant/clean-energy incentive maximization for this brownfield solar project.
The entire Borough was previously designated an Area in Need of Rehabilitation in 2025, which may make the project eligible for certain state programs and incentives for redevelopment and clean energy on compromised land.
