Board to hold public hearing on site agreement for proposed solar facility with BAP Power (Synergy Power)
Summary
After a closed session that referenced a potential solar project site, the Southampton County Board of Supervisors authorized a public hearing on a site-agreement with BAP Power (also known as Synergy Power) for a proposed solar facility.
Following the meeting’s closed session, which staff said had included discussion of a potential solar project site, the Southampton County Board of Supervisors on April 22 authorized a public hearing on a site agreement between the county and BAP Power (also referenced as Synergy Power).
County staff told the board a public hearing would be scheduled and advertised; the motion to authorize advertising carried by unanimous voice vote. Staff noted the closed session had included economic-development discussions about a prospective business and specifically listed a potential solar project site among topics for consultation with legal counsel.
No final contract or site details were voted on tonight; board members moved only to schedule the required public hearing so the community may review and comment once staff and legal counsel complete the draft site agreement and required notices.
Ending: County administration and planning staff are responsible for advertising the hearing and assembling materials for the public hearing; the board will take any final contract action only after the hearing and any necessary follow-up.
