In Fayette County, a decision to move forward on a plan for a separate solar farm in Perry Township has been continued for a meeting now scheduled for February 8th.
According to Fayette County zoning board member Greg McCune, “Due to the absence of a board member, the board voted to do a continuation of the meeting until February 8th. The board stated they wanted all board members there for the vote.”
The Fayette County Board of Zoning Appeals will meet February 8th at 7pm to consider granting a conditional use permit for the “Fayette Solar Farm”.
