NextEra schedules public meeting on county solar project after update to Fillmore County supervisors
Summary
Devon Pishalski of NextEra told the Fillmore County Board on May 12 that a proposed solar project remains in the discovery phase and that NextEra will hold a public meeting in six to eight weeks; residents who attended public comment earlier returned after the update.
Devon Pishalski, a representative for NextEra, updated the Fillmore County Board of Supervisors on May 12 that a proposed solar project in the county remains in the discovery stage and that NextEra plans a public meeting in six to eight weeks to provide more detail. The presentation did not include new binding approvals or specific project siting.
The update followed a public comment period in which numerous residents attended specifically to hear information about the NextEra proposal. The meeting record lists attendees who spoke or were present for public comment, including Ronnie D. Wilson, Lynn Mussman, Rex Mussman and others; the transcript records names but does not include verbatim statements of their concerns.
The board did not take formal action on the project during the May 12 session. NextEra’s representative signaled a continuing outreach process; the company said the forthcoming public meeting will provide additional information to the community. The county and NextEra did not set or disclose specific dates for follow-up approvals, permitting steps, or timelines beyond the public meeting window.
The board’s discussion and the residents’ presence indicate local interest; the county’s next procedural step will be to receive more detailed project materials at or after NextEra’s public meeting. The Fillmore County Board did not vote on any land-use approvals related to the project at this meeting.
