Commissioners raise questions about proposed solar development, request maps and lease records

During the Oct. 10 special session, the Cherokee County Board of Commissioners discussed public questions about a proposed solar energy development. Commissioner Lorie Johnson said she had asked Clearway Energy representative William Dean for a map but had not yet received it. Commissioner Myra Frazier asked whether leases tied to the project have been recorded with the Register of Deeds. Chair Cory Moates said the largest question he has been asked concerns how proposed developments would affect nearby property values.

The discussion raised procedural and public-concern points but did not produce a motion, vote or directive to staff. The transcript does not record any maps, lease documents, or further details from the Clearway Energy representative beyond the requests and questions noted in the minutes.
