Homeowners urge Cumberland County to study property-value impacts and consider five-year moratorium on solar farms
Summary
A homeowner urged the county to study impacts on property values (including a "mound study") and asked for a five-year moratorium on solar farms; another unnamed resident expressed similar property-value concerns during public comment.
During public comment, Ken Ault told the board he believed solar farms would "decrease home values," asked whether the impact study included a mound study, and asked the county to adopt a five-year moratorium on solar farms to protect homeowners from devaluation.
An unnamed man speaking later said he was concerned about property values and characterized himself as "not happy" with the proposals. The hearing record does not show the board adopting any moratorium or directing staff to prepare comparative property-value analyses; the hearing was adjourned after public comment and procedural business.
