Carroll commissioners enact a six-month moratorium on solar facilities in order to update county code

The Board of Carroll County Commissioners voted unanimously Thursday to enact a six-month moratorium on reviewing, processing and permitting community solar facilities on county-owned property zoned for agriculture. A sign protesting solar farms is located at the corner of Fannie Dorsey Road and Shenandoah Drive. These signs are visible all around the site and in the neighborhoods surrounding the community solar project proposed on Fannie Dorsey Road in Sykesville called “Chaberton Solar Sunshine.”
