The Grundy County Board this week acted on a special use petition for a new solar farm that would be located in the 5700 block of Whitetie Road. The board heard from the farmer who owns the land during public comment. 
Grundy County Development Director Alec Macdonald said the solar farm would be located within one and half miles of the city limits of Carbon Hill and Coal City. 
He said the Zoning Board of Appeals first heard about the project in August and tabled it. 
The special use was recommended at a meeting last month. 
Josh Harris, Joe Plese, James Riley, Harold Vota, Georgette Vota, Doug Ferro and Matt Cosenza voted yes, while Joe and Laura Schiavnone, Debra Warning, Nathaniel Greene and Jeff Wynn voted no. Laura Schiavone and Harold Vota had this conversation during the meeting. 
Six Grundy County board members were not at the meeting. For more reaction from the meeting, click link below:
