After careful consideration and with full respect for the time, effort, and investment that has gone into this proposal, I would like to express my appreciation to Orion for bringing forward their vision for a solar farm in Vanderburgh County.
However, after listening to the concerns of our residents, reviewing the potential long-term impacts, and considering the priorities of our community, I believe this particular project is not the right fit for Scott Township or for Vanderburgh County at this time.
I would like to thank Orion for their professionalism, and I recognize the importance of renewable energy development. That said, the Board of Commissioners of Vanderburgh County must ultimately act in alignment with the values and voices of the people we serve.
Justin Elpers, President
Board of Commissioners of Vanderburgh County
