Area solar projects were discussed at Highland County commissioners’ Wednesday, March 5 meeting, as progress is being made on one project, while the county received its first payment for another, nearly two years after issuing an invoices.
Three weeks after the Ohio Power Siting Board ruled that New Market Solar violated minimum setback requirements, Highland County commissioners David Daniels, Brad Roades and Terry Britton held a virtual conference with OPSB representatives during their Wednesday, July 10 meeting.
The Ohio Power Siting Board last week ruled that the New Market Solar projects are in violation of minimum setback requirements and ordered them to bring the solar panels into compliance, according to an opinion filed June 20.
