WINCHESTER Hollow Road Solar LLC, National Fruit Orchards Inc. and Diane Holmes are suing the Frederick County Board of Supervisors for denying a conditional-use permit for a utility-scale solar power generating facility in Gore.
The lawsuit, filed in Frederick County Circuit Court last month, seeks a court order for the supervisors to approve the CUP. The lawsuit also states the plaintiffs are entitled to a redress in the amount of $7.5 million.
On March 10, the supervisors voted 6-1 to deny the CUP. Had the permit been approved, it would have been the third solar facility approved by the supervisors within the past year. Supervisors J. Douglas McCarthy, Shawn Graber, Blaine Dunn, Bob Wells, David Stegmaier and Judith McCann-Slaughter voted against the permit. Board Chairman Charles DeHaven Jr. voted in favor of it.
WINCHESTER â The Frederick County Board of Supervisors voted 4-3 Wednesday night to appropriate a $500 one-time, state-funded bonus to nearly 200 employees in the county Sheriff s Office and at the Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center.
Chairman Charles DeHaven Jr. and supervisors Judith McCann-Slaughter, Bob Wells and David Stegmaier voted in favor the bonus, while J. Douglas McCarthy, Blaine Dunn and Shawn Graber opposed it.
In October, the Virginia General Assembly approved new state budget spending that included $11 million to give law enforcement personnel a $500 bonus in December.
County Administrator Kris Tierney said at the meeting that the state legislature mandated that $500 bonuses be given to sworn sheriff s office and jail employees funded by the state s Compensation Board, which administers monies from the governor s budget for all constitutional offices and regional jails.Â
