                Proposed Navy Solar Project on Guam Put on Hold

   by Associated Press

   The U.S. Navy's proposal to lease Guam property for a solar power
   project has been put on hold.

   The [1]Pacific Daily News reports that Guam Delegate Madeleine Bordallo
   announced Wednesday that she had halted the proposal. She cited
   concerns over how the project would further a Navy plan to reduce its
   overall footprint on the island.

   The Navy is looking to lease property in south Finegayan and the former
   Tumon Tank Farm to develop a solar power system. The project isn't
   directly related to the military buildup.

   Bordallo says any proposal seeking additional land use should be in
   line with the Navy's "net-negative'' strategy. The plan calls for more
   efficient use of land already owned by the Department of Defense and a
   smaller footprint on Guam.
