Senate Bill 52 in Ohios Richland County allows commissioners to decide on solar farms in unincorporated townships. Eleven townships voted to ban them, but local advocates and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers are challenging this. Theyre pushing a referendum to legalize solar farms, citing Ohios growing power needs and the quick construction of solar farms compared to traditional methods. Commissioner Darrell Banks supports solar farms on non-farm land to meet county demands. If the referendum passes, solar farms will be legal county-wide, but still subject to reviews. They also bring tax revenue to townships, schools, and fire departments.
