Pueblo West approves land lease for community solar garden through Black Hills Energy program
Summary
The board approved a district land lease supporting a community solar garden under Black Hills Energy’s program; the lease was revised to require removal of below‑ground and above‑ground structures if the lease terminates.
The Pueblo West Metropolitan District Board of Directors approved a resolution supporting a district land lease to host a community solar garden participating in the Black Hills Energy Community Solar Program.
Matt Lund, director of business administration, returned a revised lease to the board that included a change requested at the prior meeting requiring that, if the lease is terminated, the developer will remove both below‑ground and above‑ground structures. “That change has been made in the documents in front of you,” Lund told the board.
Directors moved and seconded approval of the resolution. A voice vote followed; board members indicated their approval and the chair declared the motion carried.
Board action: The resolution approving the district land lease for the community‑based solar garden was adopted. The lease includes the added removal provision for both below‑ground and above‑ground structures in the event of termination.
The board’s approval allows the district to proceed with formalizing the land lease under Black Hills Energy’s Community Solar Program; the motion did not include specific project construction dates or financial terms in the board presentation.
