Residents wait for the Greene County Commissioners town hall meeting to begin.
XENIA Residents packed Assembly Hall at the Greene County Fairgrounds Tuesday to give Greene County Commissioners their thoughts about a proposed solar farm.
One by one, they paraded to the microphone during the town hall meeting, speaking for and against a solar farm coming to the county. The Kingwood Solar Project is a solar-powered electric generating facility created by Texas-based Vesper Energy. The proposed farm would be placed on 1,500 acres between Yellow Springs and Cedarville, most of which is currently in agricultural use.
