Commissioner raises concern about weekend solar construction; staff to check permit conditions

Surry County Planning Commission · December 15, 2025

Summary

A commissioner reported seeing heavy weekend activity at a solar project and asked staff to verify whether prior project conditions restrict weekend work; staff agreed to review permit conditions and the project’s conditions of approval.

Commissioner Tommy said he observed a large amount of solar work being done on weekends and asked whether older project permit conditions limited construction to weekdays. "Is that are they supposed to be working on the weekends?" he asked during commissioner updates.

Mister Wade said he would check the permit conditions and verify whether the specific project had work-day limitations; he noted that some older projects may have different restrictions and that the activity had been providing business for local restaurants during lunchtime.
