AUBURN â As the county commissioners continue to work on a solar ordinance, the DeKalb County Council took a request for an abatement from Auburn Renewables under advisement until September.
Rudi Eidam, agent for the Sweitzer Family office that is listed as the applicant for Auburn Renewables project, was on hand at Mondayâs council meeting to answer questions on the project.
Council President Rick Ring said abatements for solar fields are becoming common in counties with solar farm projects. He said it would probably be appropriate to offer an economic development agreement with Auburn Renewables.
âSimilar things are being done in Randolph and White counties,â he said. âWe need to pause for 30 days, to look at other economic development agreements in other counties. We need to take a moment and look at this to make sure we are doing it fairly for other projects that are coming.â
