Residents resist solar farm project
Staff Writer
As a proposed solar project moves forward, residents in Prairie and Pleasant townships got an opportunity to share their opinions on the project. On May 25, the Prairie Township trustees held a public meeting to discuss the project.
Approximately 30 residents attended, most to express opposition to the project.
“This project will decrease property values and cripple acres and acres of farm land, making it useless for future development,” said Larry Krist, Prairie Township resident. “As a home rule township, Prairie Township should be upset that our input is minimal for this project. This project is a big deal, it is going to last 40 years and be as big as a small town or village.”
