Our thanks to all who supported this initiative.

In an 8-7 vote, the council reinstated language from an August meeting allowing intermediate- and large-scale ground-mounted solar projects in agricultural zones.

TIME is RUNNING OUT to let Fayette County know that you support well-designed solar projects integrated with agriculture ! See link below!

Tell Lexington Leaders: Support Zoning Changes to Grow Solar + Agriculture Together!
The Lexington Fayette Urban County Council is currently reviewing zoning amendments that would allow solar projects in select agricultural areas (only about 2% of county land) when specific standards are met. This will enable innovative “agrivoltaics” projects, where sheep can graze and crops can grow right alongside solar panels. If you live in Fayette County, you can email councilmembers using the form linked below.
