Saratoga Biochar Officials Say Town Board Held Secret Meeting

Saratoga Biochar is calling recent actions by the Moreau Town Board “intimidation and an unlawful pursuit.” According to the Daily Gazette, the company claims lawmakers held a secret meeting and public discussion to consider pausing construction in its industrially zoned areas. Saratoga Biochar is currently awaiting approval by the state Department of Environmental Conservation to build a facility in the Moreau Industrial Park that would manufacture a carbon fertilizer product made from biosolids and wood-waste feedstock.
