DELAND â The developer of a potential 4-megawatt solar array south of DeLand has been given another year to start the project.
The Piatt County Board on March 10 voted to extend the special-use permit for 329 Frontier Piatt, a subsidiary of Borrego Solar Systems, giving the firm another year to begin the project.
When the permit was approved in 2019, one condition was that construction should begin within two years. It also allowed for extensions of one year at a time with county board approval.
Borrego Solar spokesman Melissa Samaroo told the zoning board the company still hopes to get energy credits from a state program, one that slowed after green lighting a portion of project requests in 2019.
