Indian Lake Board of Education members heard from representatives from the industrial solar industry and several residents who oppose solar farms in our area during their June regular meeting.
Representatives from Open Road Renewables gave a brief presentation about the Grange Solar project proposed near Indian Lake during the public participation part of the meeting. They were followed by several members of the Indian Lake Advocacy Group who have many concerns about large scale solar. They urged the board to remain neutral on the issue. Board members listened to both sides and took no action.
