Board adopts utility-scale solar siting policy, accepts 1,500-acre limit
Summary
Carroll County supervisors voted to adopt a utility-scale energy generation facility siting policy; the planning commission recommended approval and the board accepted a 1,500-acre threshold rather than the previously advertised 1,000 acres.
County attorney Mister Durbin told the board the siting agreement had been advertised and a public hearing held in September and that the planning commission recommended approval. He said he had worked with counsel for the developer (Samsung Renewables) and that the agreement is in a form approved by legal counsel and ready for board action.
