PB 25-21 Shawboro East Ridge Solar

Description

Amended special use permit to reconfigure the 150-megawatt solar farm around wetlands discovered on site. Approved 6-0 over neighbor concerns about transformer fires and screening.

Impact summary

Generation stays at 150 megawatts while the layout shifts; the project should pay about $290,000 a year in county taxes, with sheep grazing required on at least 30% of the site and a major site plan still to come.
