Image via Flickr: National Park Service (Public domain) A yearlong debate over whether larger solar farms should be allowed on part of Montgomery County’s 106,736-acre Agricultural Reserve culminated Tuesday with council members approving an expansion that was smaller than some hoped. The zoning amendment, which passed 7-2, was first introduced in January 2020. It proposed opening 1,800 acres of the reserve for large solar farms, a significant expansion from what is allowed now. Under current zoning, only small solar installations, such as rooftop panels, can be built.
