New petition description:

Stop The Solar Land Grab! In Charlotte County, VaVA is in danger of being further blighted by unbridled utility scale solar development. While 7,500 acres has already been approved by Conditional Use by the local governing body, there has been a resurgence within the county government to significantly enlarge the already immense development campaign for utility scale solar. While 2.56% of the total land mass of the county has been approved for development, a recent Planning Commission recommendation would double the saturation to a total of nearly 15,000 acres! The additional 2.44% will make room for another roughly 7,500 acres of development —most of which would be parcels in the 50-acre range in your backyard in the form of

as many as 100 or more projects scattered throughout the county. Concerned residents, landowners, and taxpayers are encouraged to add their names to this important cause to petition the Board of Supervisors to bring an end, by ordinance or statute, to the ever increasing industrial solar complex that will forever plague the place we all love and call home.

StopConcerned Theresidents, Solarlandowners, Landand Grab!taxpayers Inare encouraged to add their names to this important cause to petition the Board of Supervisors of Charlotte County, VaVA to safeguard Charlotte County, Virginia’s rural agricultural communities, its lands, its waters, and natural sanctity of its forests.
