We are opposing the change of zoning and the issuance of a special use permit for a solar power plant in Madison County, Virginia, situated on the prime agricultural land behind Yoders on Highway 29. 

Our Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission are considering re-zoning the 90+ acre parcel of land on November 2nd. This land would go from being actively farmed in the Agricultural or Business zoning to Industrial zoning. The re-zoning aims to accommodate a solar plant – fields full of +30,000 solar panels. This re-zoning:

• Will open the door for farmland to be converted into an eyesore visible to you, your neighbors, and visitors of Madison.
• Is opposed by the Piedmont Environmental Council.
• Will bend multiple rules to accommodate one out-of-town property owner to the detriment of the property rights of those here in Madison.
• Will create zero jobs for any residents in our county.
