A proposal for a community solar farm off Wards Road in Campbell County was met with skepticism Monday from the planning commission and discontent from surrounding landowners.
Ultimately, the topic was tabled until the commission and the board of supervisors can hold a joint meeting to discuss the future of solar energy in the county.
Hundreds of acres of solar farms already are in development in Campbell County, with sprawling utility scale projects approved in Gladys, Altavista and Rustburg. But the request was the second community solar facility to be heard by the county in the past few months, the first of which was denied approval in early March.
