After the Hearing Update:
Thank you to everyone in our community who showed up in support, wearing red and to those strong speakers! Our Concerned Citizens through counsel presented amendments to the the new proposed solar ordinance at the June 10, 2025 Jefferson County Plan Commission hearing. Because of you, the hearing was tabled (no action was taken) to address further revisions. This means, the citizens have more time to present evidence to the plan commission members before the next hearing once it is scheduled.
Public Hearing on Amending the Solar Ordinance
5:30 PM on Tuesday, June 10, 2025
Jefferson County Fairgrounds
Community Building
3767 W State Rd 256 • Madison IN 47250
Please carefully review the highlighted proposed amendments in the below Use and Development Standards. These changes will be presented the hearing on June 10th, where the public will have an opportunity to ask questions and voice their concerns before the plan commission votes to recommend their changes to our commissioners.
Our Jefferson County Citizens Community is widely diversified and dedicated to uncover the truth from the idle promises of solar developers. We are united in defending our farmland and our heritage.
The Jefferson County Plan Commission will hold a public hearing on their recommended amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) addressing industrial Solar on our farmland. Utility Scaled industrial solar plants cover hundreds and thousands of acres with leases extending decades affecting future generations.
Please join your neighbors and demand our Plan Commission adopts an ordinance that PROTECTS the safety, welfare & property values of our citizens over the many risks associated with utility scale industrial solar farms.
These ordinance changes will either preserve
or destroy our farming future! Which will it be?
This is YOUR time to be seen and to heard.
Please wear Red to show our solidarity to stand together to protect our farmland and future.
