The Grundy County Land Use Committee recently approved extending an ordinance for a proposed solar farm project in Goose Lake Township.
An update on the project was provided by Development Director Alec MacDonald. 
“First year extension, the special use permit previously approved for Goose Lake Solar three LLC. Now this is not a new project, and no changes are being requested to their proof scope or conditions of the original SUP. the project was approved by Grundy County Board in twenty twenty five, following the full public review process. It is located at forty four thirty five East McArdle Road in Goose Lake Township and consists of a solar facility on approximately thirty four acres of agricultural land. the special use permit was approved with thirty enforceable conditions addressing stormwater drainage, emergency services coordination, environmental compliance, construction standards, long term operation…” 
He said the Grundy County Board will have the final say on the extension at their meeting next Tuesday. 
“The reason for this extension is purely procedural. the permit requires a building permit prior to be is issued prior to April of this year. While the applicant has been actively progressing through engineering and preconstruction planning, contractor does not anticipate submitting a complete building permit application until later this month. As a result, the applicant formally requested the one year extension to allow that extra time to finalize design stats sets. staff has reviewed the request and finds that it qualifies as a first extension, that the applicant has demonstrated good faith towards implementation, and that no amendments or condition modifications are being requested. The draft ordinance shall extend a special use permit through April of twenty twenty seven. Again, with all previously adopted conditions remaining in full force and in effect.” 
The only member to vote no at the committee level was Laura Schiavone.
