Fulton County declares unincorporated areas restricted for utility-scale wind and solar under SB 52
Summary
The board adopted Resolution 2026-172 declaring all unincorporated areas of Fulton County restricted for utility-scale wind and solar projects under Senate Bill 52 (ORC 303.58), following required public notice and map postings 30 days prior to the meeting.
Fulton County commissioners voted to declare all unincorporated areas of the county restricted for utility-scale wind and solar electric generation under Senate Bill 52 (Ohio Revised Code 303.58).
Resolution 2026-172 states the board provided required notice and mailed a map of proposed restricted areas at least 30 days before discussing the resolution on March 10, 2026. The resolution invokes ORC 303.58(C)(2)(a) as the enabling authority. The board adopted the declaration on a recorded 2-0 vote.
The action prevents, subject to statutory exceptions, the siting of utility-scale wind and solar projects in unincorporated Fulton County; the resolution text references the statutory process and notice requirements but does not list specific parcels in the meeting minutes.
