Plano City Hall says Savion Energy will present its plans for a 1,500-acre solar farm at the Plano Plan Commission meeting on Monday, June 1.
The meeting will run from 6 to 9 p.m. and will be held at the Plano High School auditorium. There will also be an online stream of the proceedings.
Plano Director of Planning, Building and Zoning Jeff Sobotka says there will be multiple meetings planned to accommodate public comment.
“Savion will be presenting their proposed solar project. We are currently working with Plano High School to have it in their auditorium in order to provide as much space as necessary. This will be considered one meeting held over multiple dates in order to provide multiple opportunities for public comment to provide maximum transparency.”
While the project has been in the works for several years, this will be the first presentation since the company submitted its application to Plano City Hall earlier this year.
Residents have expressed concerns about views, water, land use and flooding. Little Rock Township residents went so far as to pass a resolution banning solar developments within its borders.
Trade union representatives have attended Plano City Hall meetings to express support for the project.
Ultimately, the Plan Commission will make a recommendation, but the City Council will decide whether to approve the project.
A data center that was part of one proposed version of the project has been removed.
The meeting was announced by city officials at Monday’s Plano City Council meeting.
