As the Mashpee Wampanoag Community Development Board continues to meet and negotiate with two solar energy proponents on the solar panel projects at the community and government center and Maushop farm, we are looking for a bit of feedback from the community. Please participate in this brief survey so we can take any questions, concerns, and opinions into our negotiation meetings. Again, for those who are unaware of the work done into the possibilities of solar on tribal properties.
