State to dictate usurp-local-control to approve large solar and wind projects over local objections under proposed Democrat legislation
Bill could give state power to approve solar, wind projects over local objections - Cardinal News
The idea, said Sen. Creigh Deeds, D-Charlottesville, is to think of utility-scale renewable energy from a statewide perspective rather than as a strictly local issue.

No Creigh – the idea is to kill local control where the adverse impacts hit the hardest!

Virginia Democrats, led by Craig Deeds of Charlottesville, plan to remove site plan approval for solar farms, some involve many hundreds of acres, from local control and empower the Democrat majority in Richmond to railroad the projects to approval.
-
Solar farms have many issues and environmental impacts and local communities are wrestling with project approvals across the Commonwealth.
Some are being rejected, some are being required to make site changes and some are being approved.
This local process is working as intended by the Commonwealths Local planning, zoning and subdivision ordnances that serves us well.

Virginia Voters need to look closer at the people they are voting into office!
