BAY MINETTE, Ala. (WALA) – Silicon Ranch will meet with north Baldwin County residents tonight to discuss plans to build a large-scale solar farm near Stockton.
The meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at the John F. Rhodes Civic Center in Bay Minette.
The Baldwin County Commission passed a resolution Tuesday requiring a special referendum to establish zoning in Planning District 3. The probate court has 90 days to schedule an election.
That move was considered a win for residents opposed to the development.
If voters reject the measure, current conditions remain. A yes vote triggers a 180-day moratorium on development within Planning District 3 while residents form a committee and work out zoning guidelines.
The county has not received building applications from Silicon Ranch. Officials said they are not sure where the company stands in the planning process.
