We urge the St. Joseph County Council to address the issue of industrial solar energy facilities and improper zoning rules in our community. Our neighbors believe that a more thorough examination of the potential risks and benefits, both immediate and long-term, is necessary. Matters such as economic and resource considerations, farmland preservation, community well-being, wildlife impacts, tax implications, greater insurance requirements, property values, fire safety, the inability to transfer land into other uses and many other concerns, all require a more in-depth analysis. We request a moratorium to be put in place to ensure that future actions are thoroughly reviewed and determined to be beneficial for all members of the community. We are asking for the opportunity to have all of our concerns addressed.
