Friends and neighbors,

Thank you for standing with us to protect our farmland and community. Because of your support, our petition has reached over 1,675 signatures — a powerful statement that East Windsor deserves responsible, safe, and sustainable development.

Now, we need to take the next step.

The Connecticut Siting Council is reviewing the proposed expansion of the Gravel Pit Solar project, and they need to hear directly from the public — from YOU. Written testimony from residents makes a real impact. It shows that this isn’t just numbers on a petition; it’s families, farmers, and neighbors who care deeply about our land and safety.

👉 Please take 2 minutes to send your testimony.

Sample Testimony (feel free to make it your own):

Dear Members of the Connecticut Siting Council,

I am writing to urge you to deny the expansion of the Gravel Pit Solar project (Docket No. 492A) in East Windsor. This proposal threatens valuable farmland, wildlife habitat, and the safety of our community. Solar energy is important — but it must be developed responsibly, not at the expense of losing prime farmland, impacting our environment and changing the rural character of the town. 

Please stand with residents and protect our rural heritage by rejecting this expansion.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

[Your Town]

Every testimony helps. Each email adds another voice demanding accountability and balance in Connecticut’s renewable energy planning.

Together, we can make a difference — but only if we all speak up.

Let’s show the Council how strong our community truly is.

Thank you again for your support and for being part of this fight.

With gratitude,

Nicole Paradise
