LIGONIER PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVES SOLAR FARM

The Ligonier Township Planning Commission approved the plans for a proposed solar farm on Springer Road last night.  The Trib reports that SunVest Solar LLC in Chicago proposed installing their 37-acre solar farm on Michael Becer’s farm and sought approval for a conditional use of the property that sits about a mile from Ligonier Valley High School.  The plans will go to the township supervisors for their approval.  A special meeting will be held September 22nd so they can hear from SunVest officials, with the final vote on the plans scheduled for the next night.
