Beaver County Commission discusses new solar redevelopment agency with Redwood Developer

The Beaver County Commission convened on May 6, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including financial matters and redevelopment initiatives. The meeting began with discussions surrounding a financial issue involving a payment that had not yet been made, amounting to approximately $7,000. The commissioners noted that there had been a miscommunication regarding this payment, but acknowledged that the involved parties had a history of being reliable taxpayers. A motion was made and seconded to update the financial records accordingly, which was unanimously approved.

Following this, the commission moved to adjourn as the county commission and reconvene as the Beaver County Redevelopment Agency. This transition was also approved through a roll call vote, with all commissioners in favor.

The primary focus of the Redevelopment Agency meeting was the discussion of Resolution 2025-07, which pertains to a solar development project in collaboration with Redwood Developer. This project represents Phase 2 of solar initiatives in the county and involves new property that will be added to an existing Redevelopment Agency (RDA). Instead of amending the current RDA, the decision was made to establish a new RDA to facilitate this expansion.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the county's commitment to addressing financial discrepancies and advancing renewable energy projects, setting the stage for future developments in Beaver County.
