A hearing at City Hall in Lexington, Kentucky is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 26 at 1:30 p.m. ET. in order to solicit comments from the public concerning the expansion of industrial-scale solar development in the county, the Fayette Alliance said in their monthly newsletter on Friday.
After the public event, a future vote by the LFUCG Urban County Council will take place on the Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment proposed by the solar development company Silicon Ranch.
The Fayette Alliance recently released their official position statement regarding the development of these facilities and they said in that release that they “emphatically support the Planning Staff's recommendation of prohibiting solar facilities in Agricultural zones.”
