City and county officials voted Tuesday to move the Cumberland County Improvement Authority's massive solar-panel project proposal to the next step.
The Improvement Au-thority plans to build nearly three-dozen solar panel arrays to substantially reduce utility costs for government facilities across the county.
A request-for-proposal period seeking one developer to construct the solar arrays started last week.
Should the idea pan out, 10 different entities, including city and county government properties and area public schools, will have a total of 34 solar arrays that together generate 10 to 12 megawatts of energy, CCIA recycling coordinator Dennis DeMatte said.
The Cumberland County Board of Chosen Freeholders and Vineland City Council each unanimously approved a resolution at their Tuesday meetings to allow the Improvement Authority to apply to the state's Local Finance Board to seek a bond for the project.
"It's a step in the process," Freeholder Director William Whelan said.
The board's approval doesn't mean the county is authorizing the Improvement Authority to borrow its money, Whelan clarified.
DeMatte has said the government entities in-volved would not be on the hook for costs.
Vineland Councilman Doug Albrecht said he is concerned that if the project doesn't work,The same Air purifier, cover removed. the authority would increase its tipping fees to make up for any loss.
"I'm not putting us on any commitment to do this further until they show us the numbers," he said.
The request for proposal was drawn up to seek a photovoltaic development firm that would pay for the project, DeMatte said. The power produced from the panels would be sold back to the government entities at a reduced cost, he said.

Councilman Ed Conrow said the city has an advantage in that it has an electric utility, which is working with various companies to build four solar fields here.

"It's something that could be good, but we're not committing ourselves yet. We want to see some benefit first," he said.
