The Great Barrington Board of Health met on Thursday, December 4, 2025, starting at 6:34 PM. The meeting included approval of October meeting minutes, a special permit review for a proposed commercial solar facility, a correction order for a residential property, and department updates. The board voted to send a negative recommendation to the Planning Board for the solar project due to insufficient noise data, and extended a correction order for a property on 41 Street to March 15, 2026.
But it's 6 34, so we'll call the meeting to order. I'll begin by uh reading the remote meeting introduction. Pursuit to Governor Baker's March 12th, 2020 order suspending certain provisions of the open meeting law and Governor Healy's March 28th, 2025.

First order of business is approval of meeting minutes from October. Can I make a correction? Of course. I believe the word in there is not bait, but wait. And number two, the there was a citizen comment. And that should be put at the end and not in the middle. It was put in two places. And I believe that comment was right before we ended the meeting. So it should be at the end. Okay. Would you like to make a motion? I would like to make a motion to approve the Riz with the two changes noted. Uh number two 23 Rosseter Street.
