High Court Rejects Borough's Appeal Over Solar Project
(Harrisburg, PA) -- The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has decided not to accept an appeal from Gratz Borough over a lower-court ruling. It had favored a company instead that was trying to develop a solar farm built in Dauphin County. The appeal followed a Commonwealth Court ruling last fall that the borough failed to properly advertise a meeting where it set stricter zoning standards for solar energy systems. The meeting took place while the company, G Morris Solar LLC, was seeking permission to build the 17-megawatt solar project. The project has been opposed by neighbors concerned about its potential impact on property values and quality of life.
