North Hempstead extends moratorium on battery energy storage facilities

North Hempstead’s Town Board approved extending a temporary moratorium on battery energy storage facilities at a meeting on Nov. 18. The board also heard and denied a proposed law regarding a potential limit on mailers sent by town officials running for re-election close to the voting period. 

Council Member Robert Troiano, who represents District 1, was the only board member who voted against the moratorium.
