County schedules Sept. 15 hearing on Folsom Lake Solar Project application

Mills County Zoning Board of Adjustment · July 21, 2026

Summary

Staff announced a Conditional Use Permit application from Orion Renewable Energy for the Folsom Lake Solar Project and scheduled a public meeting for Sept. 15; board also moved the August meeting to Aug. 25 because of the Iowa State Fair.

Mills County staff announced that Orion Renewable Energy submitted a Conditional Use Permit application for the Folsom Lake Solar Project; the board scheduled a meeting on that application for Sept. 15. The announcement was made by Matt Wyant during new-business remarks on July 21.

Board member Heather Jenneman requested the board move the August meeting from Aug. 18 to Aug. 25 because the Iowa State Fair falls on Aug. 18. Jenneman made the motion, seconded by Jeff Evans; the board approved the date change. The minutes list the Sept. 15 solar-project meeting on the calendar and record the August meeting date modification.

The minutes do not include details of the Orion Renewable Energy application; the item is listed as pending for the Sept. 15 meeting when the applicant and staff will present fuller materials and the board will consider public comment and any required staff recommendations.
