Fleming County Fiscal Court directs attorney to draft Resolution of Non‑Support for proposed solar IRB and PILOT agreements

The Fleming County Fiscal Court on Oct. 12 unanimously agreed to have County Attorney Monica Hill draft a Resolution of Non‑Support for proposed industrial revenue bond (IRB) financing and payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) agreements for two local solar projects.

County Judge/Executive Larry H. Foxworthy opened discussion by asking whether any fiscal court member wished to proceed with the previously proposed resolutions and agreements from Fleming Solar LLC (Core Solar) and AEUG Fleming Solar LLC (Acciona). No member moved to support or approve either proposed resolution or associated memorandum of agreement, the court record shows.

After consulting with County Attorney Monica Hill, court members agreed that the court’s intent to oppose issuance of IRB financing and related PILOT agreements should be placed on the record. Hill was authorized to draft a Resolution of Non‑Support, and the court confirmed its agreement to that direction.

The action does not reflect adoption of a formal ordinance or vote to bar projects; it records the court’s decision to express non‑support and to have the county attorney memorialize that position in a drafted resolution. The transcript does not show any formal vote tally specifically for the non‑support resolution text or any signed PILOT or bond documents being approved at the meeting.

The matter will return if and when any formal resolutions, agreements or financing requests are presented for approval; the court did not take further procedural steps to approve or deny an IRB application at this session.
