Solar farms are popping up all throughout central Illinois, but what happens when they break down or stop producing?

The DeWitt County Board had the same question among all the applications they've been receiving, and at Tuesday night's DeWitt County Land Use Committee Meeting, the Committee reviewed a plan that requires the decommissioning of a solar project within 180 days of its production stopping. 

When it comes to the complaint plan, a sign will be required outside of the project featuring an email and phone number that community members can utilize to submit complaints. This is to give people a place to voice concerns about noise, construction debris, or any other grievances they may have. 

These two plans will be presented at the County Board Meeting this Thursday.
