Lancaster County Board of Supervisors Adopts Solar Power Ordinance

Solar power farm developers wanting to build sites in Lancaster County will have new rules to follow starting July 2. The Rappahannock Record reports the Board of Supervisors approved a solar power ordinance by a one-vote margin following a public hearing held late last month. The ordinance allows small-scale residential and agricultural/commercial solar by-right use, meaning generally permitted on their land. The ordinance resulted from a special exception request made by Rappahannock Solar on a property near White Stone.
