A hearing is underway to determine whether the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) will approve a major wind farm in Vulcan County; however some residents are opposing the project.
Brown County citizens speak against solar farm tax abatement
Brownwood Bulletin
Six members of TLOW Texas Landowners Opposing Wind urged Brown County Commissioners Court members Monday to refuse a tax abatement for a proposed solar farm project near Brookesmith.
While there were no agenda items at Monday’s meeting that pertained to the proposed solar project, the six spoke during the citizens comments section of the agenda.
TLOW was initially formed by a group of landowners who opposed tax abatements for wind energy.
On Feb. 8, commissioners approved in a 4-1 vote with Brown County Judge Paul Lilly voting “no” guidelines and criteria for any future tax abatements the court might grant.
