With the first public hearing having been held Tuesday night on a proposed northwestern Highland County solar facility, two road use maintenance agreements (RUMA) were approved by county commissioners Jeff Duncan and David Daniels Wednesday, paving the way for construction to begin on two southwestern Highland County solar panel farms being built by Hecate Energy.
One RUMA between the commissioners, Highland County Engineer Chris Fauber and Hecate Highland 4, LLC was for New Market Solar I, while the other dealt with Hecate Highland 2, LLC’s New Market Solar II project.
