Council finds Hardy Hills solar project in compliance and approves CF‑1
Summary
Clinton County Council reviewed CF‑1 reporting for the Hardy Hills solar park, confirmed the project added $238 million in assessed value and met employment expectations, and approved the CF‑1 showing substantial compliance with the abatement agreement.
The Clinton County Council reviewed the CF‑1 compliance filing for the Hardy Hills solar park north of town and voted to accept the project's reporting as substantially compliant with the previously approved tax abatement agreement.
Staff told the council the project added roughly $238 million of assessed value and met the employment projections the company had promised in its abatement application. The council noted the associated economic development agreement provides contractual payments to the county during the abatement period and voted 5–0 to approve the CF‑1 paperwork to inform state reporting.
Council members asked staff to confirm which assessment year the company selected as the start of the abatement period; staff said they would verify whether the project began its abatement in the 2022 assessment (taxes payable 2023) so the council and the auditor can record the correct abatement year.
