Legislation to give townships and counties the final say in whether to allow utility-scale solar power projects in their localities continues to wind its way through the Ohio Legislature, with one measure passing out of the Senate and another still in committee in the House of Representatives.
The Summit Street project, which includes replacement of a water main, is estimated to cost $10.55 million as the city will reconstruct the stretch of Summit Street from Lafayette to Jackson.
The plan is part of the development for the Solheim Cup - one of the top women’s sporting events in the world - which comes to the Inverness Club this year.
BACKGROUND
Ludeman said he spoke with an FBI agent about the project, specifically about taxpayers funding utility relocations. Ludeman also says he asked the city for answers regarding paying for utilities to move lines or equipment, but never received any.
