During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding the accessibility of land proposed for rezoning, particularly for a potential solar farm operation. The land is reached via a three-quarter-mile dirt road, which is not maintained by the county. This road intersects with a creek, accessible only through a corrugated metal driveway pipe that is also not maintained by state or county authorities.
The speaker highlighted that this crossing is inadequate for the heavy equipment necessary for establishing a solar farm, raising questions about the feasibility of such a project given the current state of access. Furthermore, the road is privately maintained by a small number of residents, leading to skepticism about the county's decision to consider rezoning land that lacks proper infrastructure support.
The discussion underscored the broader implications of land use and infrastructure maintenance, prompting further inquiry into the county's role in supporting developments that rely on adequate access.
